Over 15K miles on this 2004 LeMond Ti/ CF. Not as many miles as I'd like lately.

Nice, Dan. I have one really excellent bass (Custom Shop P bass) but no bass amplification at the moment. I acted as the bass player in the my last few bands.

It's been a while, but I also used to ride bicycle. Maybe now's a good time to get back into it. I took a break from cycling and rowed competitively for the last few years.



My other interests are photography (film and digital, but mainly film). I recently bought a couple Hasselblads and some lenses.

Hifi and vinyl records are my other interest. Unfortunately all my records and hi fi gear is 5 hours away in another hosue I rented for the past year.... so I've been playing guitar more rather than listening to records.

Beautiful bike. LeMond has (had) the best geometry of all modern bikes.

Cool Junk,

I'm also interested in militaria and cool junk,

my collecting is eclectic and quite random, I'm fond of items that link me to the past I really enjoy researching and learning about new (old) items that I happen to find.

items include

WW1 Brass microscope
Victorian telephone
1920's safety goggles
1920's Headphones
Tootal scarf's
Top Hats
Opera canes
1980's Russian Flag

etc etc etc etc.

Im slowly filling in my Walking Dead comic collection. No 19 is highly coveted. The series is very different from the TV show.

I collect Morgan dollars and am very close to completing my collection of the 13 CC mint issues. The 1889 is especially costly. I have every US silver proof set from 1955-2019.

There are also about 80 unmentionables, some classic ones, in the basement. I also roll my own and that's about all I can say on the matter.

Love your shaving brushes.. I went crazy last August as I got on the PLISSON French website and dropped about $3000.00 on some awesome Shaving Brushes but for some reason I never took pictures like i always do and at the moment we are still in Sri Lanka.. High Mountain Badger Hair size 20 with tortoise shell handle was about $1000.00 USD.. Work of Art..

I hadn’t ever given it much thought, but now that I look around my house, I guess I can say that I collect books.

And when I was a kid, I collected baseball cards. I still have the more valuable ones, but to me personally they are pretty much useless other than to look at every few years. I would love to sell them off and use the proceeds to buy a watch!

Nah, I have been buying two apartheid era Krugerrrands every month for almost to years. I just like having them, no interest in "trading/selling" them.

I dont really collect for investment, just the pleasure of owning and enjoying...

Thanks. He was massively influential on the entire US glass art industry.

One thing I like about it that each piece is unique and hand made.
