Having been on the list for I suppose about a year, I have noticed a most d efinite slide forwards in the timeline of the gear discussed, outed and ask ed about. We are now into 80's mainly. Moving center of interest ? Or just lack of availability of early stuff ? I think the latter.

My "real interest cutoff" is 1950. 1950's, ok even 60's bikes are very ride able, rare, and present great variety. The '80's stuff to me is just so man y minor (very) variations on a theme. Anybody else seeing this trend, and a ny thoughts ?
