I like your idea of bike mutations, but there is one big problem. Survival of the fittest is not the same as survival of the best. Marketing suits will sell, and ignorant customers will buy any old crap if it looks good. The fitness of a bike only lasts as far as the bike showroom door. Once it is sold, the bike has performed its primary purpose (like a salmon spawning at the end of its journey).
