Abandon ship!

I hope this doesn't mean the cycling boom is over, if there ever was a boom. Whelst strolling in Shimokita I happened upon a shop selling all kinds of bikes. They had everything from mamachari shopping bikes to old road frames. In the mix there were a couple of track bikes that were fully complete. The shop owner said that after the summer the owners got rid of them. I thougt they were going to be regular prices but I guess buying a used bike, riding it and reselling it makes it more valuable. I asked about buying parts but it was a no go because, unlike the road bikes the track bikes had to be sold complete. Just makes me wonder what it'll be like in two years. Tonnes more vivalo frames on the heap me thinks.
