This has probably come up a lot but as i've missed them and im far too lazy to hunt them down

If the word *retro* is defined as items or a style belonging to the past,then many subjects that appear non-retro to some would appear to others as *retro*.
For instance the bikes that became the 'mountain bike' would be Retro but only the models and components that were from that transition period[whats that? early eighty's?]and that period only.Everything else from then on becomes part of the history of
To answer the disc question from this point of view ,only the earlier models ,Amp, Formula [more knowledgeable members will know of others

Now comes the bit i get hate mail from
