Remember too that (at least in the opinion of some) functional art is a pleasure to USE as well as look at.

Along with Snap on tools, certain nice cameras, and other cool stuff that we on the list may collect, the bikes we love, those that epitomize the craft and the sport, are dynamic sculpture, functional icons that are a tribute to the skills of the people that created them.

And herein lies the difference not only between production bikes and true vintage lightweights, but also the difference in PERSPECTIVE of this list vs. the BoB list or wreck dot bicycles dot whatever.
