Check the Classic & Vintage forum here. Your question is rather broad if asking about all vintage bikes. However, if you are only looking for vintage bikes suitable for commuting and touring, I can recommend a few:
- Miyata 1000 or 600 (THE classic touring bike)
- Various other Japanese touring models from the 80s (Panasonic, Shogun, Lotus, Fuji, Nishiki, Univega)
- Various Rivendell models, such as the Rambouillet, Romulus, Bleriot
- Classic Italian and European cross bikes (Pinarello, Merckx, etc.)
- Waterford RST and other touring models (handmade American)
- Bob Jackson and Mercian touring models (classic British tourers)
I've got a Waterford RST-22 and a Bob Jackson World Tour that are classic in construction although not vintage. I bought the Waterford used and the BJ new, both for what I consider bargain prices (about $600 for frame and fork). Both are classic steel, lugged frames.
