Wore out three sets of tires already!
I've seen the hobby change as interest changes. Back in the early 80's post war balloon tire bikes, parts, various makes were quite desirable and commanded decent $. As time went on into the 90's early 2k, Stingray stuff became more popular and desirable, prices increased. Mid 2k BMX became more and more popular/desirable. I've noticed that prewar stuff has always been strong and desirable, but now brands (other than Schwinn) are being found, sold, traded, restored etc. Prewar stuff is still riding strong. To me the next trend going to hit will be old school Mountain bikes. It's starting to gain more momentum. The cool thing is if you like bikes there's plenty of different types to suit your taste. Market will fluctuate. Keep it alive. Buy, trade, sell, collect. Make it fun!
