I love the more classic looking - Rambouillet, AHH (mine is 67cm single top tube), Quickbeam type looks. Over the years the bigger bikes that fit me have gone by the wayside and I didn't buy the 69 AHH in time.. I do love my Bombadil for touring. I sold the Ram, and Quickbeam and am down to my two bike AHH 67 and 64 Bomba. I may repaint the AHH some day but these two cover my riding needs here. My wife has her Atlantis and Betty Foy - just sold her Roedeo - I think my Bombadil has to much seat post - yet when loaded for touring it is nice for the large saddlesac over the rear panniers... but straps aren't long enough for just the rack..
Hard to explain but here are some of our bikes and places over the years.. https://www.kickstandphoto.com/Other/Bicycle/Our-Bikes-Over-Time/ Have a great day...
