Future classics

[Grannygrinder]

Any thoughts as to recent bikes that may have the potential to become 'future classics'. I'm going to say; Santa Cruz superlight.


I'm suddenly deeply concerned that this has all been done before, oh well in for a penny.......

I hate to say it 'cause I'm not terribly fond of them...but for sure any On-One. Achieved hysterical cult-status in their own life time so no doubt will be classics...very soon.
Oh...and apologies to you On-One fans out there...just that my mate had one and I thought it looked...and rode, very average (ly) :?

agree the onone will be holding its value over the years

the dmr rhythm will be fondly remembered by a generation of uk dirt jumpers

ill throw a part in - the charge spoon in brown leather ti rails , probably the current day flite

I suppose the first dedicated singlespeed mountain bikes will get a look in. Beyond that, I'm not sure.
And before anyone thinks I'm a reactionary old git, I honestly believe we're around the corner from a new wave of machines that will become classics in the future.

I've seen nothing in modern day mtb's that will be a future classic. it's the manufactures pretending to be new & exciting. When cycling doesn't need it. :evil:

to be fair were the wrong generation of riders to really decide what the current generation looks back in years to come with blurry eyes to
