How did we go from the $1000 vintage bike to the $2000 vintage bike in such a short period of time. The Peter Weigle thread got me thinking about this. If the bike is an exotic Italian or has some cycling provenance, boom its $2000 or more. Seems like just a few years ago a lot of these bikes were $1000 bikes. Has the vintage thing really taken off more than I realize? I run into a lot of cyclists when I ride, but seems like I am the only one running vintage.

I'm using ebay as a reference. Maybe these $2000 aren't really selling and its just sellers throwing out a hook to see if anyone bites. And prices in general on ebay are way up. Maybe Its time to take advantage of the spike in prices and unload some of my odds and ends.

Thoughts???
