I think much of vintage world is driven by what people yearned for in their youth, when they didn't have the means to buy their dream car/bike/motorcycle/ etc. Radwood and 90s retro have bigger crowds than 1950s hot rod shows now, and the value of old school boomer built hot rods has declined. Bring a Trailer is now loaded with big money German cars. It doesn't bode well for vintage bicycles, especially now that the 'fixie' craze has run its course. Is somebody going to really, really want my 2008 s-works stumpjumper in a few years? I have no idea. I imagine so, but it might not be worth hanging onto year after year. Millennial kids might only be nostalgic for Nintendo Ds games and consoles they could never afford waaaay back in the early 2000s
