I suggest the current cutoff date be 1984... this is the transition year when Campy modified NR/SR to Record, Chorus, Victory, etc. gruppos.

In the future, should vintage frames and parts be granted inclusion in the CR after say, 15 years or only when there are frame/parts transitions ie steel/aluminium? Should we concentrate future forums into steel/titanium/aluminium frame sections? Prehaps the CR could expand to specific eras or component groups in designated time frames <no pun intended>

Just thinking out loud...
