classic and vintage? not in the true sense. I don't ride them (now). But I cut my teeth on the SR/NR era - had a Gipiemme equipped bike, also Excel Rino.. come to think of it, I upgraded the Excel to Gipiemme. So I'm somewhat familiar with those bikes. But I have admit that I tend to ride gear which is either current or one, perhaps two, generations removed from the latest.
