Very self explanatory, 70s bikes are beautiful. Linked is a photo of the Motobecane Nomade in 1978.

they put on a vintage mtb show over the last few days in toronto- incredible collection of 70s/80s mountain bikes, some with complete original builds (wild!). the pic only shows half of the bikes they had installed. really sick archival work on top of the regular day-to-day bike shop sales and services. i fw the grems

🚲i love the Crust Bombara, All City Gorilla Monsoon (more MTB-y tho, sounds like you'd lean towards the Space Horse). check out Bassi Cycles from MTL - the Hog's Back might be what you're looking for. they've also got some cool randonneur style frames.
a while back i started a spreadsheet (linked) for building a perfect bike, but ended up getting a shop-built Gorilla Monsoon. hope this helps!

Like an old Cadillac, they aren’t the fastest or most efficient, but I’ll be damned if you can find a more stylish or comfortable ride out there than a high end steel bike from the late 80’s or early 90’s. Those old touring and mountain frames are capable of handling almost any conditions and generally simple to repair, highly recommended for a solid commuter or all-rounder.
If you know what you’re looking for, sometimes you’ll stumble upon a real steal. My Miyata 615-GT (little sister to the legendary Miyata 1000) shown here came off Craigslist for $200.

📓Why pay money when libgen is free? The more questionable action I engage in is pirating regular books, I'm sure Nabokov won't mind if his publisher loses out on 20 bucks because I wanna read Pale Fire.
