Vintage / Classic Bike Overview
Vintage bikes are traditionally older bikes usually pre 1970's that have been refurbished. However in recent years the popularity of vintage style bikes has increased, so much so that some manufactures are starting to produce brand new vintage bikes that have the classic vintage style. Vintage cycles are generally fixed wheel cycles that have no suspension though this is not always strictly true. Often vintage bikes are able to be fitted with many accessories such as lights, pannier racks and baskets.
Because vintage bike frames are relatively stiff and they have smaller wheels than most bikes, they are not suited to rough roads.They are solely suited to flat sealed roads.
