>>1649776https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/1218857-show-us-your-c-v-cyclocross-bikes.htmlI don't see exactly why you'd limit to 80s/90s.
Any canti brake CX bike at this point is basically a classic and they go all the way up to current year. Like pic related.
Also, if you find something racey with higher spec steel, I wouldn't avoid it just because. Like pic related also.
As far back as 70s/80s (and earlier), well, there might not be 'cx' bikes as such but there are short wheelbase light canti stud road bikes with ~32mm clearance that people had as sport-tourers or rando bikes. Same thing basically.
