Sharing space in the garage with two steel Serottas and the steel GT Edge are a steel '06 Allez Comp and an aluminum '06 Allez Elite. Neither of those two Specialized things is even remotely vintage. But they are both fantastic rides and I feel absolutely no shame either owning them or riding them.

C&V can certainly provide some special feeling for some people. Define it any way that you care to and get into it or not. No one else will be affected by whatever decision that you make.
OK, you might get laughed at.
