Out the others it's a tough choice between the Hetchins and the Raleigh. I've always liked that Panasonic livery but the bonkers rear triangle of the Hetchins wins in the end.

if you go by the <1997 age category in the mtb forum then both sti/ergo and threadless steerers cut it as 'retro'.
Not sure what the periods are with road bikes though - they have been around sooooo much longer than mtb's.
Where does 'antique' turn to 'classic' is this the same as 'retro'? And when do you enter the no mans land up to being 'modern'?
