Seller of the Week: Kirk Pacenti

October 18, 2022 8:40am by rob

Welcome to another edition of Seller of the Week! The blog series where we ask our favorite sellers five easy questions!

Kirk Pacenti was another early supporter of BikeList, listing both his fine art prints and Rivendell lug sets. Recently he listed the first production 650B mountain bike, which he designed and then displayed at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show back in 2007. We are truly grateful to have the founding father of the 27.5 mtb involved with BikeList!

80s and 90s Bikes are like 60s and 70s Muscle Cars

The first Pontiac GTO was in 1964. And the last great year for muscle cars was 1971 (with the legendary Hemi ‘Cuda). Today the muscle cars from this era are considered timeless classics. 

Today there is also a lot of interest in 80s and 90s bikes, which many people consider to be a golden era for bikes. The L’Eroica bike ride focuses on road bikes built before 1987. I generally like to focus on bikes from 1981 to 1996.
