I wonder which of the new bikes will be considered desireable in 20 years or so.
I'm still waiting to see a carbon fiber bike spontaneously combust, hasn't happened yet, but how will they fatigue/age over the years?
I'm kind of surprised at the value holding ability of the early Cannondales. Who would have ever thought when they were new they would still have a niche all these years later.
The great irony of the world will be when the 2008 Wal-Mart NEXT is highly sought after in 2028 simply becuase they have a 6 month life expectancy before finding their way to to the scrap heap, there for rendering them "rare", if not all together desireable.
