I initially reacted to this berk who described my top end 90's retro as *shit. Clearly there are very few forum users with any real world knowledge of either vintage or the contemporary bike trade (which I worked in myself for 29 years as an importer/reseller). Builders import carbon rim stock because there is a good ROI and the demand is strong. Its the way the market is trending.
Hey ho, ignorance is ubiquitous, and anecdotes and Google are not the way to a sensible, reasoned argument.
