For Sale: Cinelli Laser pursuit

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.

To a certain extent I am sure that this is true - but the money is orders of magnitude below cars of comparable vintage/history.

As in- this Laser will probably go for a few thousand pounds, a Ferrari GTO would be how many million?

That aside, what I was trying (badly) to convey is that what the bike market doesn't have the kind of following (by people with serious money) that the classic car market does.

If it did there would be positives- of a sort.

For example if the BB shell of this laser has a specific serial number stamped into it then one of the classic car resto lot would remake the whole frame if all they had was the BB shell.

But the frames would need to change hands for significant money for that to be worth their while.
