Good point Tom!
Likewise, if you can't tell the difference between a Titanium Seven, an Aluminum Cannondale, a Carbon Colnago, an aero tubed Cervelo, an E5 s-works, a molded Kestral, a tig'd steel Pegoretti, a carbon/zertz specialized roubaix, a OCLV trek......
Good thing there's those clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades cut outs in those 70's bikes, cause they all look the same to me.......

When Richard Reno said "Most of the "modern" bikes are interchangeable. =
Leave the decals off and their owners couldn't tell them apart." I just =
have to say that if he is talking about factory new bikes, he may well =
be right. I don't know enough about them or have enough interest in =
them to know.
Now, if he is talking about new hand made bikes by American Keepers of =
the Flame, my own area of interest, I would have to disagree completely.
Anyone who could not tell a Richard Sachs from a Rivendell from a Chris =
Kvale, just has not been paying much attention. I feel these modern =
handmades are highly individualistic, with new builders with new spins =
coming in all the time. Sacha White of Vanilla Bikes and Jim Kirk are =
just two examples of young builders coming on strong who make me think =
the future of the hand built fairly high end bicycle is in good hands, =
indeed.
