Just like no one seeks out and collects bottom-dollar pine-wood furniture from 1900. Stuff was cheap stuff back then and is cheap now. Plastic is the bottom dollar material of our day. How many people seek out 1940s plywood furniture? No one. Stuff was cheap and utilitarian then and cheaper and more utilitarian now, it became dominant due to real wood shortages.
Not vintage quite yet, but have you ever priced a set of original campy carbon ergo levers? You are telling me carbon/ti Davidson's won't be around in 50 years? Or Firefly's? Or Calnago C50s? How are you so sure?
