Fleming Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I am curious. What does everyone do with their vintage bikes? Reason I ask is a recently got a 1995 Kona Explosif with the intention of restoring it and riding every now and again for short distances. I have since ridden it twice and both times have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am thinking of making this my go-to bike in the future and moving some of the newer parts off my full suspension Giant to this bike to improve the ride even more. I know some people would this of this as ruining the bike but at least it will be getting ridden, as it was made to do.

ren8gor Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I have an Nuovo Record Alan circa 1983 and a 531 Hansom with DA 7400. More often than not, I choose to ride them above my carbon fibre BH with Chorus. Call me nostalgic, but I love the retro feel and look......
Allrounder Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I am getting a hand me down that will be converted into a single speed.
Fleming Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 I have a 1995 Kona Explosif that I bought as a bit of a side project but enjoy riding it so much it has now become my main bike. I moved some of the components from my FS Giant to it. Its no longer "Period Correct" but to me its important that the bike gets ridden.
