More likely, the explosive growth of recreational time and disposable income has created a market for nostalgia sporting goods which in turn has created a demand for old stuff to fix old stuff.
I'm not sure what planet you dropped down from but disposable income has been on the decline for decades and the explosive growth of recreational time is the result of 1/3 of all Americans not working. Vintage bicycles have been the rage since bicycles have been in existence. Why don't you take your trolling elsewhere where it will not result in you being a laughing stock.
