While not at all "retro" or exotic compared to a 1950's Herse or a 1970's Taylor, and considering i've never been much of a mountain biker, something about the Norcal mountain bikes of the 1980's-- especially the drop bar ones--speak to me. Ritchey, Potts, Ibis, Cunningham, old Salsas. Especially if they had rollercam brakes and a LD stem. Those would be pretty cool.
I would beg, borrow, and steal whatever i needed to if i ever had the chance to own an original Ibis Scorcher.
