<<<I know this is going to border on heresy, but what makes 70's and 80's lugged steel frames an less cookie cutter than modern cookie cutter bike. In fact there is way more variety in bike design, materials, and construction than there was in our "classic" period. I'm not trying to be critical of the "classic" bikes we all love. I'm just pointing out that lugged steel was the most cookie cutter of bikes until about 10 years ago. I guess I'm tired of the denigration of modern bikes just to make us feel better. >>>
My thoughts precisely.
