I consider my otherhalfs 1992 orange clockwork as a retro ride.. All old skool stuff that I remember doing god knows how many sunday paper rounds to afford the components as a teenager.
I was riding my 1997 Pace the other evening to get a take away in Brighton and a lad on a 'new school' freeride bike rode alongside me and said 'Thats a propper retro bike!' I did not know to take it as a compliment or an insult as I still regard it as my 'new bike'
I guess a retro bike is a bike that can still be remembered after a few years for being indifferent from the mass production bikes that get forgotten when the next mediocore model surpasses it.. to be forgotton the next year....
****Note.. have just drunk five generous gin and tonics***
