My crystal ball on the C&V future market remains very murky. Very hard to determine the future. On one hand, you do have a few younger adult groups who are interested in C&V bikes. One is the group of nuovo hipsters/Millennials who seemdd to adopt the old, but were mostly adopting things non-mainstream that they can tag as their own. Not uncommon, in fact, every generation does this. The coffee, Paul Bunyan clothes, and old bicycles are their "statements". As soon as any of these reach main stream, as may be the case with "fixie's", the objects, and the ideals surrounding them, will be discarded for the new, as is the way with fashion. And the next generation will most likely discard the previous generations likes, for likes of their own. Millennials may represent the last of overt consumers, though they try to hide and deny it. The next group, the Plurals, well, they are more pragmatic. Most of them grew up playing way more video games, watching way more you-tube, and riding bikes way less. This generation does have a strong link to practical and useful things, which bicycles, especially C&V ones, very much are. Their "world" and "childhood" is fragmented. I was talking with my neighbors daughter (a Plural)... she had watched every episode of MASH over the summer, and she had no one to discuss it with. None of her friends watched it with her; none of here friends had any interest in it at all. This generation doesn't have a strong emotional bond with anything from their childhood, because so much "culture" is available to them. I don't really see this generation hording (that's what collecting is, essentially, even if it's for future or later use). So you have a generation not into physical "stuff", with not much of a connection to bicycling. Very cloudy.
