I believe the steel bikes, with precise, semi to fancy lugs, will always have a following. Baylis, Sachs, and Eisentraut frames are already on the wish list for my collection. I just never see them offered in the right size & condition for the price I can pay. When everyone else is going to TIG welding, aluminum, ti, and carbon, lugged steel frames will become scarcer & scarcer, particularly the good ones. To have seen an Eisentraut on ebay last month with TIG welding almost broke my heart. I can't think of more than 2 or 3 Ti, Aluminum, Carbon, or TIG frames that have been made in the past 15 years that will be true collectibles. Someone will always want them, but not moi.
