This might sound completely absurd, but I think someday there will be Huffy Cranbrook collectors. They came in a zillion color combos with a variety of accessories, there are models with chrome fenders and even 3 speed hubs. and they are a "1st bike" for a LOT of people. They're also fairly durable and well made, especially compared to everything else wal mart sells. It's a perfect recipe for a collectable. Every time I look a the massive pile of leftovers I have from parting them out, I think "somebody might want this stuff someday". I'm not convinced enough to start preserving them, but it could happen.Exactly!
You just never know, when a trend is going to come out of thin air.
I’ve always felt that those hand made, artisan built lugged steel framed bikes would become sought after some day.
It might be a hundred years from now, but someday, people are going to marvel at the high quality, craftsmanship built bikes of the late 50’s early 90’s.
Coinciding perfectly with the golden age of Campagnolo made components.
