Speaking also from a vintage (or vintage-style) perspective, I disagree. I see a hundred campi NR cranks for every TA pro vis, 150 colnagos for every singer, and 200 images of Eddy in the Alps for every image of of a loaded bike in the mountains. And how often do you see a high quality vintage utility/commuting bike?

It may be worth VO's consideration to look at doing some reproductions of competition parts, but I really appreciate their current emphasis.
