I have noticed that at least in the USA, that many of the old road bikes found that are 60s/70s vintage have taller than average frames. I know more than one person of average height who bought new bikes back then with a taller frame size than they needed, to the point where they had to put the...

Today, collecting and/or making money on high-end vintage road bikes of the 30s to 80s is trendy and fashionable, but I think all of history is equally important, the history of the lower classes is as important as the history of the elite and winners isn't it? My first road bike in the 1970s...

I have 4000 miles on...
