I'm new here. Hello. I'm interested in Vintage lightweights
and would like to know if there is a sub-forum for them.
I like Italian & Belgian bikes, mostly, but also love Bob Jackson. OK, and Batavus.
Cheers,
Rafael T

Welcome! We all love Italian and English bikes, and I would be interested in learning more about Belgian bikes. A few of us are heavily into Austrian bikes, as well.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
I have a specific question. As far as early 80's Pinarellos go, were there various types of frame options, or were prices based mostly on component selection?
I'm only getting now into vintage bikes. Up to this point, I have always changed bikes every five years or so since 1980. I currently ride a custom steel job (De Salvo) but have no vintage bikes, unless you consider a Sunn MTB from 1998 vintage!
My buddy still rides his Peugeot with Record 10 speed (one of his many old bikes) and got me hooked.
Thanks again!

Now why do I feel like the "bad guy" in the 1930s Reefer Madness movie?

Memory must be failing (wow...like what would cause that?). I thought it was the guy who turned the kids onto the stuff...I better rewatch that flick. Viewing the vintage website I recommended might lead to a heavy addiction to that site. Incredible lug work and paint jobs on some of those bikes.
