Every once in a while, man made objects can blend form and function to a point where they earn a classic status. This usually happens over time starting with more clumsy, inefficient designs then reaching an aesthetic high point. There will always be people who appreciate and value high points in design. These objects stand on their own without the need of nostalgia. I could name a number of objects that fall into this category and I believe the kind of bikes C&V folks here enjoy are one of them. What monetary value they may have in the future is anybody's guess, but I do believe they will be appreciated by enthusiasts of the future the same as today.
