anybody into vintage bikes?

The reason I ask is that I would love to have the bike back that I had as a kid. I had a CCM Mustang 5 speed that I thought was just the coolest thing I had ever seen

Yes, I started out by buying or building most of the bikes I had when I was a kid (nostalgia), then never stopped. I don't have a Mustang though. My wife asks me all the time why I have at least enough bikes to ride a different one every day of the month, but don't ride them nearly that often. Very addicting. Went from BMX to muscle, to cruisers, to road, now I have some of each.

Wow....I know what you mean. I don't dare start getting onto the "classic retro bikes" trip, b/c I'm already outta control on cars. But here's a bike that one of my friends had when I was a kid that pretty much burned a lifelong image into my brain.......I LOVED that thing!! Check out the shifter with the built-in E-BRAKE!

Here is a pic of a bike like what I had as a kid
