The thread is about classics, not antiques.

My son was in the shop of a bicycle builder in Pittsburgh, Engin Cycles, and he said that the Bridgeport Milling Machine (which a lot of custom bike builders favor) is a machine that could build itself.....don't know if this is true or just an expression of the love for this workhorse of old.

Acutully not true,sadley I had to sell my bridgeport when we moved last year.I miss it dearly.
The lathe is called the queen of the shop for a reason,with milling attachments, you can make a mill with a lathe,but you cannot make a lathe with a mill.and you cannot make a mill without a lathe.

Give me a couple of days and I'll send you some links, believe me, we are in a Golden Age of bike building happening simultaneously with the carbon fiber import....one thing you won't see again(and haven't for some time) is a lugged frame ridden in a Tour de France.
