You're welcome to browse C&V (of course) and find inspiration, perhaps enough to snag a vintage lugged example like you see here.

I, for one, don’t mind seeing new bikes mixed in with C&V stuff. It keeps me from being *too* isolated into C&V.

However- theres a pretty huge gap between a really loose interpretation of “classic” and “vintage” or “whatever” and then just full on new and modern with *NO* “classic” or “vintage.”

In other words: ‘here’s my 1984 Trek 170, and this is my daily rider 2020 Trek Dual Sport...’.

Dig?
