Retro Trends

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Have you noticed certain trends in the Retro community?


So far Ive noticed the Klein trend (last year) and suddenly in the last few months how much Pace's have been massively sought after.

M900 Mechs seem to be REALLY sought after, same with Pace forks.

Coloured tyres were a thing of last year. Most people like black tyres it seems now.

GT Zaskars are pretty desirable all of a sudden too, RTS's etc.


Interesting to see how Retrobike itself has had an impact on how sought after certain brands are.

I was saying much the same to Mike on Sunday. I eventually get mine and then BOOM, every man and his dog wants one, Ebay is going mad for them and readers bikes is full of them!


So I get another one

yea klein is so last season !!!

1' parts - stems, headsets and forks are al getting good money.
Conversely 1” frames haven’t been getting stupid high prices.

I predict the future will be pink stumpjumpers.





When this happens, please note I have a nearly NOS one I'll flog when the bidding goes Klein like.

Im just a sheep .... Baaaaaaaa

I'm sure DrS's and Andys Funks nudged the price up quite a bit.

Yeh mistake to sell my zaskar frame last year.. it's worth double what I sold it for in todays GT Market.

I think Pickle & daj are inflating the prices nicely


I wish everyone would fall out of love with Kona Hot's!

I hope Yetis don't get common like Klein and Pace

Prediction for next year:

(Mystic Jez)

There will be a huge demand for:

Black amber walled tyres (Smokes, Xmax's etc)
Old style M737 (?) Deore XT (NOS or close to it)
Original factory restoration builds - i.e no bling. More black and silver.
Team replica bikes - THIS WILL BE THE BIG THING FOR SURE!
