I meant the fetishism of history, rather than the fetishism of newness.

I remember seeing this:
Where do these things happen? I'd like to go.
(...and yes, I stopped seeing this as 100% bike ages ago! There's at least 50% of just wanting to own a beautiful bike that serves no useful purpose other than to please me! God only knows why this idea has managed to assume the precedence that it has in my mind).
