Bike porn

these bikes are kitted out with the very best, most expensive and most desirable and exotic components from their era: Ringlé, Cook Bros, Syncros, Shimano XTR, Nuke Proof, full Campagnolo mountainbike gruppos etc,

All of which are shit next to 2011 Deore. It comes down to a question of whether it's for riding or for looking at - those bikes are retro porn, and they belong here the same way hairy muffs belong on porn sites, but you might not get such a good ride from somebody whose heyday was 1993
