Ok all my efforts at obtaining a Delta V1000 have failed.
I probably missed the boat and need to look for underdogs .
Any idea what this bike will be worth in 10 years? It popped up on my craigslist a few days ago and I have been eyeing it.
Might go see it today.

Sorry bro no bikes go up in value, only old baby boomers think old Schwinns and shit go up. Anything performance oriented just depreciates. They make 'em better and better every year. Because technology and designs get better.Same with compound bows and golf clubs. Sorry, no classics. There's not really an equivalent of a '70 Chevelle SS

I want to add, there a re very few rare unusual bikes that people will hold on to for sentimental value, and the rarity, but they don't really appreciate in value. The INTENSE M full suspension from late 1990's won a shitton of downhill races, and is a pretty wacky machine. My brother told me all about them, and they are kinda saught after....

I have a whole fucking shed of shit like this from my childhood. They look fun, but then you actually have to ride them.
I never knew any difference until I got my first proper roadbike and I never wanted to kill my parents more for making me ride these heavy fucks growing up

I went from bmx growing up to mtn bikes, then to cyclocross and road bikes and now the bike I ride the most is an old $40 murray that looks like a classic schwinn.. I just new whitewalls and chrome fenders on it.

Those lower end models with the non-proprietary head tube sizes are surprisingly rare, and they've appreciated decently, up about 11% since the 90's. That's from a baseline of not much, mind you. I wouldn't call this an ideal bike to get into collecting with, but if you already have storage worked out it's not a bad addition to your portfolio.

The lowest end cannondales came with rock shocks in the 90s to lower the price. The head tube is actually smaller and I don't think you can swap for a head shok.

There was no low end Delta V1000 though. Non of them came with rock shocks
In fact , to get rock shocks on them you had to buy and adapter kit that was not cheap.

>no bikes go up in value
You couldn't be more wrong. Here is a short general list of bikes that climb in value in good condition:
3rensho/Nagasawa NJS bikes
Merckx/Pinarello/really any 80s-90s italian TT machines. Good appreciation if it's just the frame, even more if you have a campy groupset to go along with it
90s MTBs of good quality (Gary Fisher/Fat Chance, etc.)
Assuming things are in working order and didnt come from sears you can get a lot of appreciation out of an older well maintained bike.

Technically I think mine is. They certainly hold their value well, since they're the real deal instead of some cheap Indian or Chinese copy.

To bike geeks sure but that would fetch no more than $50 at any yard sale across the US. It probably cost more than $50 back in the 70s or whenever, so no, no bike goes up in price.

The Chinese ones have their own cult following if it's a Flying Pigeon and not one of the other ones. The Indian ones aren't worth shit though. There's just no commibloc red army appeal.

Yes, like that one. There's another couple of brands like Forever? I think that essentially make the same bike, but the Flying Pigeon brand is part of the appeal, like a Ural motorcycle or something.
