For the most part, this group seems to be really into steel racing + touring bikes from the 60s-80s with a few outliers (guys into classic aluminum, crabon, mountain bikes, etc). Very little love for muscle bikes, balloon tire bikes, tank bikes, BMX etc.

About 10 years ago I remember wondering if anyone would be pining over race bikes from the late 90s etc (which are now pushing 2 decades old). Sure enough, you can check the various "hot or not" threads on the 41 and see props to guys "keeping it real" with a late 90s Ti bike... So I guess there will need to be a new thread for those vintages. Or is there space here?

Just like music from one period being called "Oldies" and another "Classic Rock" etc, or car guys into "hot rods" vs "muscle cars"... I guess we have claim to "Classic and Vintage" and the folks into bikes from other eras will have to define what they call themselves.

Just about all of us can appreciate a nice bike no matter when or where it was made.
