Nick,

Ah, the age. Well the answer to that is generally "older as opposed to younger". BUT, as the new age of lugged steel frames emerges, the age demographic will fall dramatically. Reason is the "mountain bike" generation if cyclists who finally discovered road bikes by accident have begun moving from modern frame materials to traditional and classic frames and materials. Quality and style is always the direction people gravitate if they are really serious. Quality and style are untimately timeless once the trends pass. It's always safe to not compromise the quality and personal character of such objects.

I'm guessing most of my buyers are older, but before long I expect a new crop of interested parties. Everything from messinger types to who knows what. Not sure what I will do about it.

Nick,

Each builder's demographics will depend on a number of things. A certain amount on where they are located. Much based upon on what type of frames they build, and lastly how much they cost and what the wait time is.
