Let's assume the manufacturer gets to define what an artefact is meant for.

If previous years mtbs were meant to be ridden, the manufacturer would encourage servicing, repair, upgrades.

But they don't.

They want the same buyer to get a new bike, and throw the old one away.

The advertising almost always tells you how much better this new one is to everything that came before.

So mtbs are meant to be ridden for about 2 years, then replaced.

Consequently just restoring an old bike is an act of rebellion against disposable culture,
