Proper Bikes
These are bikes that meet the Alistair Gow of Wheelcraft definition of a Proper Bike:
"A steel frame, full size wheels [27 inch but 700c is close enough], some gears, drop handlebars, and mudguard clearance."
Other definitions are available but irrelevant.
Many bikes in Touring Bikes and Hub Geared Lightweights are also Proper Bikes, but categorising bikes is hard.
