Let's face it, a lot of the brands we have are no longer made, and the brand is no longer around.
However, some are.
Fuji, Cinelli, Pinarello, Trek, Cannondale, Merckx, etc.
Even Diamondback and Giant, I believe, can span from steel to carbon.
Figure a 20-year span?
Let's see 'em.

I have Raleigh bikes ranging from 1967-2006. Oldest bike on the property late 40's early 50's Hecules. Newest bike is probably a 2008 Redline.

RT, your timing is perfect...
I swapped a bunch of Campy components, and I do mean a bunch, for this brand spanking new Trek Crossrip, plus a bunch of cash...

Yesterday, I found this Trek 1000, lying on its side in two foot high grass. I bought it for five bucks...

The early lugged steel Rocky Mountain I found at the Dump, a half hour earlier...

I didn't see Bianchi in your list.
My '88 Trofeo is my oldest, well oldest rideable, Bianchi. Forumula 2 frame with the typical midlevel Bianchi mix Suntour drive, Modolo brakes, Ofmega cranks was OEM but swapped out for 172.5 Record.

And my '99 MegaPro XL Titanium is the newest, with Record

Bikes: Waterford 953 RS-22, several Paramounts
This is sorta cheating, but Waterford is the progeny of pre-bankruptcy Schwinn. Sixty-seven years separates these two.
1940 Schwinn Paramount.

Good thread, I have three pretty bikes from one of my favorit local brands: The very respectable and long existing RIH brand, all of mine build by Wim vd Kaay.
The oldest is from 73, i aquired the frameset from Elev12k

This one was build in 82 in a very unusual colour combination for a Dutch bike

And this is how the RIH's look when build in modern times: my 2008 build bike

There is an interesting comparison of what could be a true Ferretti Masi and a "created" one on ebay right now though.

I have 4 Schwinns dating from '78 to '92. Someday I'd like to acquire an older Paramount.

My father has a 35 year gap in his Raleighs. A '74 Gran Sport (pictured - wish I had a recent one with its new Honey Brooks) and a 2009 Grand Sport (not worth a picutre IMHO). If we count my '55 Rudge (bought by Raleigh - does that count?) it's a 54 year span. I'll put a picutre of that in as well just in case.
