Hi Steve and other CR¹s:
Sorry, I knew I was pushing the envelope as it were, by jumping to Classic Rendezvous right away, but Lou¹s quote was a convenient starting point. Thanks for the rec.bicycling.misc lead, I didn¹t have that on my news reader list. I¹ve added it, and posted the question there.
As Dale said, "PLEASE avoid topics which are not fairly directly related to Vintage lightweights. This is a judgment call I know, but new bike discussions, fit issues, riding techniques, are all not usually very pertinent to the theme and should be posted to another list that better applies."
I did get some interesting music suggestions though, there¹s some guys who have studied this subject (or spend many, many hours spinning). I¹ve already thanked a few, and am trying to check out and reply to the rest.
So another question, for myself and others who might have an off topic question; what mail lists and news lists are there?
I¹m on a few mail lists (ibob, touring, fixed, framebuilding, tandem ;<), British bike) and news lists (rec.bicycles.tech, r.b.marketplace, r.b.misc, phl.bicycles (Philadelphia area) ,uk.rec.cycling (Britian))
If there¹s others, please pass them along.
