We could probably set up a poll here on the forum asking every member who is 50+ when they think bikes reached their zenith and no two members will answer the same. Every member probably has fond memories of their first good bike back at Age 19 or 22 or 35 and nothing manufactured ever since can hold a candle to it in terms of gorgeous design, manufacturing precision and material quality. Apparently Rydabent got his sometime in the late 80s.
