I listened to that clip, and I guess I'll have to disagree with him. He speculated that Lamberts would become collector's items, unlike old Treks. I would speculate just the opposite.
Don't get me wrong, I personally like the light weight and some of the quirky features of the Lambert/Viscount, but they tend to languish locally on CL unless priced at a deep discount.
Although most vintage steel bikes are suffering from comparatively low demand these days, I believe vintage Treks have a brighter future ahead. They punch way above their weight in quality vs. price.
