When this guy is surrounded by rare cycling exotica, then you'll be right about the value of this.
Right now the market doesn't have professional speculators who will bid the price up, sit on it, then release it to the market with a load of hype etc.
actually, I'm sure the vintage bike market does have speculators of some sort. prices are well inflated with the right italian name or jepenese stamp engraved in the steel and I'm sure there are people living from selling old shit to gullible teens who just want a cool fixie.
I really like that apparantly this is a story about some random young fixie skidder stumbling upon a golden treasure and not a fat sweaty speculator.
