Is there already a term for that "certain" type of bike?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

The type of bike I am talking about is vintage road bikes that go over the top to look classy. You know, Honjo fenders, shellac cloth wrap drop bars, brass bells, upright bars with reverse levers, etc.. I LOVE this type of bike, but do they need a name? I love the look, but I always want to connect a name with that certain style, but I seem to draw a blank.,,,,BD
Are they already called something? Besides really cool bikes?

My Competition w/fenders. Seemed like the right thing to do when riding it when sudden downpours are frequent.

Nice. Very similar to mine (but white Carlton hoods and white Bluemels). I'm out of the country at the moment, but will try and shoot a photo when I get back. What year is that?

I just found a link of the type I was talking about. Constructeur it is, I guess? Pretty yes, but I can imagine finding this type of bike parked outside a store somewhere, looking like it had been ridden for 50 years, but well taken care of. Patina laden, if you will,,,,BD

dunno what to think about this one:
and there's a fine leather-to-steel ratio on a bike, and this guy missed the memo:

I'm going to be contrary and admit that I actually like that Surly. Also, on the Jamis, if that's the frame you already have and those bits make the experience better for you, then why not? The electra seems more an elegant townie, than poseur. A good bike for someone who wants the benefits of a new bike with a touch of old-school style. I know, in general we don't like sloping top tubes, but not everyone has the time or motivation, and I say good, more bikes for us.

Just why is this fake? Is a Randonneurer that specific of a bike style?
