No vintage lightweights in my stable of 13 bikes

I am a big utility bike fan. So far all of the vintage stuff in our household is either English steel or America steel. (Raleigh, Hercules, and Schwinn) I also have a couple of the SLIHBTLSIWN that StephenH referred too

I usually skim over the Campy/Suntour/Shimano posts, I do enjoy reading about some of the lightweights like Clubmans, Whitcombs or Bob Jacksons. I can appreciate the artistry of a fully drilled Zeus or a vintage Bianchi but they aren't something that I collect.
