Criteria for Classic & Vintage
What is the criteria in terms of age and other factors for a bike to be considered Classic & Vintage? Would a 2004 Litespeed qualify?
Thanks

Too new for me, but then, my bikes are probably too new for some others in C&V. There are forums where there are strict rules about what counts, but I like that C&V is a big tent. It's sort of like classic/antique cars.

C&V is any decent bike the LBS will scoff at, really. We're not concourse judges and welcome just about everyone with open arms (with particular exception to those who ask what's C&V and what's not C&V ).
