Russ Fitzgerald and I have just been privately discussing these bikes that are eclectic mixes of old and new.. Old frames with a spattering of new parts ....New frames that are made in acknowledgment of older forms (Rivendells, etc.)
"Neo Classics?" .... "Classic Mannerists?" .... "Vintage Hot Rods?".... "Irvings?"
No really, what moniker would best and most succinctly describe these immensely rideable and refined mounts..?
