When Suntour was on top and Shimano was mostly marketing low end stuff.

Huret, Allvit, Sachs

If I put 700C on this frame to replace the 27" wheels that are on it now. will it work?

120mm, 126mm

Mountain bikes with 130mm between the drops

Mountain bikes with horizantal drops

I almost forgot my favorite: NISHIKI

When I first saw his avatar I honestly spent an hour trying to figure which Monty Python sketch it had been taken from.

Jeunet
Stella
Panasonic

You know you're a C&V'er when SunTour means "high quality" instead of "Wal-Mart crap".

You know you're a C&V'er when Motobecane means a quality bike NOT sourced from Taiwan and sold online with questionable marketing tactics.

You know you're a C&V'er when the sight of a box of huret barrel adjusters, Simplex cable stops, SunTour derailleurs, Campy downtube shifters, and drilled-out Modolo brake levers gets you more excited than a new Dura-Ace group.
