I think I’m on the younger end around here (35) and I love classic steel bikes. I just ordered a custom lugged frame (which is probably the most expensive thing I’ve ever bought). With sites like The Radavist and bikefluencers like Ron/Ultraromance/whatever he’s called, as well as brands like Crust, you can see a lot of appreciation for classic steel bikes and classic parts. Even Rivendell seems to appeal to a mix of old guys and hipsters who appreciate the history and iconoclastic bikes.
Point is, there are lots of bike subcultures. And that’s one reason bikes are so great!
