This thread could be a fairly interesting experiment for someone with a lot of patience. Over in C&V cults evolve around certain brands and models in a lot of cases bikes that would otherwise be overlooked, one could infer that this thread could be an indicator for future cult like bikes.. the results though would take decades to exist.
I love that Mooney, I'm surprised GT/Fuji/Ridley/Orbea have already been mentioned as they are well established and have dedicated fan bases already.
