Not wanting to raffle feathers and all..

.... so I thought I ask the question before posting the lots of picture here...(I will give you one though..
I am a fan of all things old, bikes, motorcycles, furniture... just love art deco and classic lines, but I'm not a purist, and also appreciate retro.. so there I was the other day in a bike shop, buying an inner tube..as you do... and this beautiful classic bike caught my eye, it was a Japanese made Bruno 700c Tour, had been sat in the shop a while a little forlorn and unwanted by the local skinny road race fraternity that only want expensive flash carbon..
I had been wanting a touring bike and had been looking for a metal framed 80-90's road bike to convert...then saw this and worked out I'd only be spending $200 more that buying a cheap classic and sora groupset... etc. and a few special tools...
So my question is are retro's welcome here in the classic and vintage section or is there a more appropriate place?
