I really like your bike, a lot. But anything that starts with a 1990s as far as date, is not vintage. So then the question is to whether it is classic. Modern bikes that "qualify" for classic IMHO have a few traits.

1. A really desirable brand (Colnago, EM, etc).

2. Not required, but preferably a lugged steel frame.


I have a similar era bike, a steel 1995 Fuji Roubaix. All Shimano eight speed 105 STI. Not vintage, not classic, but a nice bike nonetheless.
