My problem

Not a real problem actually but let me explain. I'm a gadget freak. If I had the money and space I would collect numerous objects. I've just round a site that sells replica F1 steering wheels. Signed by F1 drivers like Michael Schumacher. First I thought: "well, quite a reasonable price" but after a closer look I fell from my chair. Over 3900 dollar a piece (fully working). Dang! The one thing I'm really craving it a 1973 Gios-Torino racing bike with full GT engraving. To put on the wall in the bedroom (Anne would never allow this ). See the picture. What a beauty! The list is endless. An early 19th century brass microscope, a deck chronometer, a Webley and Scott army revolver, etc., etc.

Well, Frans. You've had the thought and expressed it. Now you only have to do it.

I am sure you will get a bike like it soon!
