I think of classic as defining a style and vintage defining a date. Of course, the ultimate definition of those varies per person.

Edit: I'd think of a custom modern lugged frame as classically styled. That certainly doesn't mean it's vintage. In my subjective opinion, if the bike uses a threadless headset it's no longer "classic". I think you have to have a quill stem to be a classic
