BTW, I am a 25 year old pixies listening, non-hipster and I appreciate the history of my bikes plenty.

I will look his bike up. And Matt- I listen to the pixies too. I was just pointing the 'generalization' gun in the other direction, since it seems that the immediate impression of me was about as far from reality as it gets. Don't worry-- the campy's not going ANYwhere. if anything i'll put it on one of my other (nonvintage) rides.
