Anyway, as I think I hinted above, I also consider the existence or non-existence of bike model kits to be symptomatic of cultural preferences. What is available obviously reflects what happens in the non-model sized world, but it's curious that you don't seem to get a large availability of kits of, say, Dutch bikes, i.e. kits from where cycling is popular. (And those are chunkier than slim road bikes and would make for great kits.)
Cycling is doomed?
