As far as Sunday bikes/collector pieces, I really dig the 60s and early 70s stuff. It had personality. I love the ride/versatility of that period's Italians.

Most of the 80s is a bit too cookie cutter and/or stupid obnoxious paint for me. The 80s are somewhat of a transitional period, and, while certainly important, it has some of the worst of both worlds. It still depends on the bike of course.
