Picture Retrobike in 10 years time - which are the bikes which we should be buying now which will be classics then?

EDIT: Or rather, if you put in your order today you will take delivery in about a decenium.

Hmmm,

Gotta admit, the small builder has definately won back the hearts of the ardent cyclists. Builders who are really creating a following / devotion right now...Blacksheep, Soulcraft, Strong, Pereira Cycles, Waltworks, Coccinno, etc...

Personally, I'm totally stoked on the new ride I built for a show coming up here in my neck of the woods...totally fun. I hate to admit it, but I have not touched any of my other bikes since I finished this build. Will it be a classic in 10 years...who cares, it's a butt load of smiles right now! :D

cheers,

rody
