I got to thinking about this the other day after noticing how the offerings of Velo Orange have shrunk considerably, I don't see vintage bike projects on other parts of the internet like I use to, and the Tektro CR720 seems to be out of production entirely. Looking around the internet the blogosphere that promoted classic bikes seems to have disappeared as well. I would attribute this to the natural fading of the surge of interest in classic bikes that followed the fixie fad, as well as the maturity of the gravel segment which has filled the gap in the market for versatile drop bar bikes. Also, demand for bikes generally is soft right now everywhere due to the whipsaw aftereffects of the COVID years.
