In an email reply, Vienna-based Harald "Harry Capo" Cap referred to my bikes as "oldtimers," so perhaps that is a common Austrian expression.
I just assumed that Germany focused on cars and Austria focused on bicycles, not having its own auto industry. Of course, Steyr-Daimler-Puch made plenty of firearms as well as parts for German cars. Capo was always a much smaller company, focused on bicycles, which they still make.
