I think you've nailed it with "respect for 50yo carbon frames", they will be virtually non-existent. There's no real concern for the longevity of current electronic shifting systems because they'll be replaced in a few years along with the frame they're attached to.
I think traditional steel bikes with manual components will continue to be passed around and restored indefinitely, but this is simply not the case with carbon racey bikes. We are in the era of the disposable bicycle in that market. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
