If I won like a squillion dollars, I'd liek to buy the rights to one of the old companies (klein, fat chance etc) and start making them again liek they were... but really the market would be super limited as most people want a carbon wonder bike, or us oldies want the real thing, not a ressurect thing...
And when it comes to the companies, well they would just screw it up, don't get me wrong, I am super happy with my zaskar reissue, for me its really really good, but then I can only compare to very short rides on old ones. So I guess not really screw it up, but more they would have to modernize it, so if trek were to reproduce, it would have to have disc, and have to have 4in travel, so it wouldn't really be like an old one...
Look at the Ritchey P-team, good effort, I'd like one, but still not like the old ones...
Still if they did, I'd be interested (not saying I'd buy one, but definately be interested)
Also, since Trek is big, maybe they have the pulling power, I'd like to see a limited edition, get on board with Shimano and Rockshox (ha Sram) and bring out limited edition M900 and Mag 21 Sl's... that be cool
but never going to happen (until I win those squillions...)
Then let's hope you win those squillions because limited editions of golden oldies frames AND M900 would be great!!
