Not saying that’s the case but I would find that more believable than a bike ages into its prime.

Well, I was being a bit figurative. I'm no oenophile, but I do know that many vintages age incredibly well, and (many) others not so much. I was curious as to how different frame materials age or degrade, if at all.
