For me, oddly enough, it's the state-of-the-art bikes, not of my youth, but rather from a time when I paid not the slightest attention to cycling - the 80s - hence 2 1982s, a 1985 and a 1989. I really don't find myself interested in the state-of-the-art bikes from when I DID ride as a youth. I don't know why this is, because I have learned it's pointless to question my particular muse.
