Maybe that's the reason that my bikes don't hold sentimental value for me, I've always bought bikes off the shelf rather than fixing one up or building a custom one.
I guess if you put that much work into one, then they're going to hold more value to you than one you just choose on a website or from out of a shop.
It's hard to feel sentimental about today's generic, cookie cutter bikes.
While I enjoy bikes, I just can't get sentimental over them. I do consider the bike as a very valuable tool that helps me to get around. But when it comes time to upgrade, I will sell my current bike and replace it with the new one. I just don't have the space or time to collect or get sentimental about bicycles.
I'm not all that sure, most of todays bikes are or do seem like they came from the same mold but the one you get is yours and once you start going a few miles on it, adding stuff on to it and stuff you start to grow a fondness towards it.It's hard to feel sentimental about today's generic, cookie cutter bikes.
