I don't really know what "retro" means. I don't think there's anything retro about wanting a certain kind of bike, or a bike that looks a certain way. Few of us can get a car built to our specifications. I mean, we are pretty much limited to what's at the dealerships, but many people can get a bike custom-built to their specs, and if doing so, why would we chose ugliness over beauty? It might not be up to current consumerist fashion trends, but it's not really retro.
