What makes a Retrobiker?
- Thread starter ededwards
- Start date
Pretty varied and complex, but why not keep it simple? At the heart of it is the love of old bikes, bike history, and the evolution of bikes and their technology. I particularly find the history and development of mountain bikes fascinating...and seeing present day bikes/technology/riders and riding styles in a historical perspective.

Nostalgia too for me .
I reckon it's partly nostalgia, but also the fact that most new bikes are just not particularly interesting. Mountain bikes in the 80s and 90s were still evolving very quickly, but today it's all settled down into competent, homogenous, inexpensive crap.
Or that could just be me being a reactionary old git.
