How old before it's considered vintage? Or Antique?
How old does a bicycle or part need to be before it's considered vintage?
HOw old does a bicycle or part need to be before it's considered antique? I don't think 2001 stuff qualifies as either vintage or antique. Does it? Cheers |

It's taken from wine so should really have a year attached. Like a vintage 80 sun tour ... Or at least a period like a vintage 70s ... And don't forget about retro. I think what we call vintage with bikes is often retro. Old fashioned and outdated. Lol. Maybe you're looking for classic like with cars? -- duane |

I don't think 2001 stuff qualifies as either vintage or antique. Does it? Well, my motorcycle qualified for "historic vehicle" plates once it was 25 years old. One of my cars will meet that qualification next year. "Historic" isn't quite the same as "antique," but I think one could justify it as a synonym for "vintage." -- - Frank Krygowski |

BTW, I'll admit I was shocked the first time I saw a historic plate on a Pontiac Fiero. I thought "That can't be right!" -- - Frank Krygowski |

If it's like with electronic equipment (my main turf) it would be when a bike becomes rare and sought after, when the prices start noticeably picking up from garage sale level. I still ride an early 80's custom road bike. Gazelle frame, Shimano 600 and the usual stuff that was considered top notch back then. Today it would not be considered vintage but outdated. Friction shifters anyone? But I keep riding it because it's still in very good condition. I just put new Gatorksin tires on it and the chain is at 0.8% stretch so it'll soon need a new one. I'd buy a new road bike if I was a serious road bike rider but I found that mountain biking is more my kind of cycling so I invested in a new Fuji Outland instead. HOw old does a bicycle or part need to be before it's considered antique? When museum directors bang down your door for it :-) I don't think 2001 stuff qualifies as either vintage or antique. Does it? Highly doubtful, I'd consider that almost new. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

DEFINITIVE list is he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic...lub_of_America https://www.google.com/#q=AUTOMOBILE...ELESS+CARRIAGE https://www.google.com/#q=COLLECTORS...cycles&spell=1 The bicycle tube's insides, the bicycle's perceived value, operates against longevity outside narrow environmental, class/income levels. There's the old barn in arid country but how would a bicycle get there ? The old car scene is dominated by V-12's, celebrity associations...Beatty the animal trainer drove Pierce Arrows...OK how many have touched a P-A ? The old old cars are tin on wood frames. Were tin on... Fleetwood ? Mac ? Fleetwood PA had a serious hardwood forest. HAD a... There were no 4 cylinder Curtiss motorcycles but there is an engine or two. Rusted tubes. War recycling. I am stunned by Leno's electric car. My 544 Volvo Bruno and I are North America's last surviving 544 couple. Since 1970. Bruno was disassembled refinished 3 times. Now resting in a garage at 375000 miles, waiting for retirement. Damn, I missed the last SP 44's by 4 months. Forgive me for writing abt that again by I'm impressed by it. Merely 'collectible' but of interest in design longevity origin and a Lemans class win in stock sedan. Interesting about bicycles....outstanding simplicity, beauty, the song of the frame, balance, color...isn't tied to age as that impression can be with an 4 wheel vehicle... With the exception of the Mexican Lincoln.... |
