I live in the foothills, but not far from the Appalachian mountains so many of my friends ride mountain bikes. I’m definitely viewed as the crazy one for my affinity towards 40+ year old bikes. Everyone around here seems to ride modern road bikes.
If there was a stronger for sale market I would be cleaning up, but it’s slim pickings. The best bike I own spent 30 years in an Ohio attic before being brought local to me and put up for sale by the original owner. Serious biking is relatively new to this city.
