I have to be honest, about half the bicycles shown here are what I consider to be classic. For example, a 70's Raleigh Gran Sport 3 speed is in my opinion a Classic machine, a 3 speed Raleigh Clubman is vintage. There are scores of Nishiki's, Univegas, Schwinns, KHS, Ross's, etc, mass produced bicycles that although great machines are really just old bicycles IMO. For instance, a Nishiki Olympic, a Univega Alpina Sport, a Schwinn Varsity I do not consider these Classic or Vintage.
