Making a spreadsheet of vintage lugged touring bikes
I'm getting tired of looking up the same info over and over and over again. I also got tired of saying I would make a spreadsheet and not doing it...
The narrow focus is American market lugged steel bikes of the 80's. The steel and lugs are a must, not having cantilever brakes makes a bike suspect but some did indeed got built without them. At this stage of the game all I'm trying to capture is make, model years of production, and any significant development along the line. For instance the Trek 520 lugged frames were from 1983 through 1993, and there was one year where the chainstays were shorter and it did not have canti brakes (can't remember the year, a good example of why I'm doing this).
If you know the years of production of your favorite touring bike please post them. I'll put them all together and then share the google spreadsheet.
