A quote I liked from that, was something along the lines of....
"we know more about steel then any other bike building material"
Its all about taking a material, and tuning it into a good bike. The trouble is, as vintage bikes are made from steel, people blame the metal. When they should be looking at the specific tubeset and frame design.
