A lot of the interest is because of nostalgia. There are guys -- and we are, by far, mostly men -- who acquire the toys we had as kids or the toys we wished we had as kids. Or young adults. And I'm not calling a bike a toy, as in "not serious." I'm talking about something physical we get a lot of pleasure out of.
