RETRO & VINTAGE bicycle DIRECTORY
The bicycle may be the purest form of retro there is. The general design hasn't changed much and while they keep coming up with new technology to add to it, it still remains true to its form. New materials, aluminum, carbon, titanium etc have certainly added to the appeal of bicycles and the addition of gears and disc brakes as well: none of these new materials match the ride quality of original steel frames and the latest trend is a return to simple (which is totally retro) no gears i.e. the single speed and the beach cruiser.
