I only use the Hetchins on fair weather days, but it gets a good going over on those!!
The others all get a regular outing.....I have a different one for most types of riding that I may encounter/partake in.......from a raod/path fixed gear from 60's to a cyclocrosser to a tourer.....everyone has there advantages!!
None of them are modern, although some have early t omid 90's parts on them!

When the weather is OK I do use a retro machine fairly often. I sometimes go out with the local group ride which raises a few eyebrows amongst the younger ones who have only ever seen carbon or aluminium bikes. I don't know what surprises them most, the age of the bike, the age of the rider - or the fact that I'm generally still there at the end.
I use a retro machine to time trial on. Even my 'modern' TT bike is 12 or 13 years old.
