I would be nice to see a Retro/ Vintage forum

Can you add a vintage/retro subforum?

Count me in as well.
It's quite gratifying to see the interest in vintage/classic/retro bikes. It makes me happy to know that there's a growing body of enthusiasts who aren't falling for advertising spiels to have the latest and lightest or fastest machine around.
Personnally, I believe we took the first steps on the road to Hell when sloping top tubes were invented. It's just wrong!

I'm with you. Not only has the marketing of the newest,best and lightest gone over the top, so has prices. I just saw that Pinarello is asking 17K for their carbon framed Dogma road bike! I don't think any of these bikes can match the simple beauty and sturdiness of a lugged steel frame with chrome running under eight cogs.....
