I'm 34. First bike was a Schwinn Stingray. A friend of my older brother had a Fuji road bike, and I always thought it was amazingly fast and beautiful (and fantastically out of reach financially for a grade-schooler). I suppose I inherited my retro-grouchiness from my father, who still has his three-speed from college, who still has the MG-TD he bought in the early '60s, just to cite two examples.

I enjoy all sorts of old things, especially those that can be tinkered with and fixed, rather than tossed out and replaced. Like -holiday76, I'm into motorcycle, although only the old ones. I don't do fuel injection.
