In my (personal, but informed) opinion, that will not be a 
problem.  There are plenty enough carburetted manual shift 
autos, Knucklehead era Harleys, fountain pens, Underwood 
typewriters and so on to meet demand. Where demand falls 
short, those things get cheaper or sold for scrap; where 
demand rises, prices adjust.

So I have no fear of any 'shortage' of classic bicycles.
