In our age of technology, inspiration and admiration can be found at the touch of the wireless mouse.

Cyclofiend’s Current Classics Gallery is a online repository of reader’s rides that often embody the characteristics of a renaissanced bicycle. These are real vintage lugged steel bikes that are really ridden by real cyclists.

It is refreshing to see the same ideals that we hold close: high quality materials, attention to details, appreciation for craftsmanship, and a reverence for an efficient machine … and that’s just from looking at the Rivendell section of the gallery.

In fact, the main Gallery boasts a diverse cross section of the cyclo-sphere with bikes submitted from all walks of life.  While the photos are arranged in a few different groups, they all have the common theme of owner appreciation.  From working bikes to cyclocross, we constantly find inspiration and fresh ideas from like-minded cyclists.

So if you have a renaissanced bicycle to share with the world, please submit it to the Gallery.  The website provides a few simple guidelines for taking quality photos, and a brief narrative is always appreciated.  Go-ahead … it won’t hurt a bit.

… And if nothing else, the Cyclofiend Current Classics Gallery is a refreshing way to spend a rainy afternoon.
