Looking for old post

Awhile back I read a post listing older bikes in order of quality for racing. I think it was this site. Anyway I can't find it. Anyone have suggestions?

Best way to search for older posts is with Google; use something like: "your search terms" site:bikeforums.net

Good luck!

Exhaustive and objective, or partial and subjective list?

Mostly objective.
List combined quality of frame, weight, material, average and price

Maybe it was a link to a page. It was interesting

Bikes: Two wheeled ones

I honestly can't imagine any such list being even slightly useful, much less interesting...there are thousands of bike brands and models, the preferences are largely subjective and the weight differences have far more to do with component choices and frame size than frame differences. Prices vary on used bikes to the point where that measure of comparison is also likely meaningless.
