Yes, that is the question. If I sell something today will I be jumping off a building in 10 years for doing so? Richard Rose

The recent $515 e-bay sale of the aluminum-chassis Brooks got me to thinking;

What are the investment-quality bike collectibles?

What bikes and parts are bound to go up over time? What bike parts could be considered part of a portfolio?

I would think such parts should either be very exquisite or very rare. The best would be a combination of both qualities.

Could anyone say for certain that the five-hundred dollar Brooks would be a thousand-dollar Brooks in 10 years?
