A "Classic & Vintage" Bicycle Market Bubble?
The stock market, commodities market, housing market and certain markets for collectables have experienced big surges in prices, followed by "bubble bursting". Could this be the case with C & V bicycles? Not long ago, 3-speed bikes and road bikes were hard to sell, even at really give-away prices. Now they sell quickly, and at ever-higher prices. Time to "buy & sell", or time to "buy & hold"? Also, how does this effect our hobby?
