For Trike's and conversion kits this is without doubt the best in the UK

Dear "adm@altavista.co.uk" and other list members:
As I see another breach, once again (!) I remind list members of the requirement that you complete all messages with a "signature" of your correct name and hometown. I will begin automatically removing members from the list altogether for ignoring this request. I am copying below the rules-of-the-road for the CR list. PLEASE read them and follow them.
<< Welcome to the Classic Rendezvous mailing list.
The idea for this list is to exchange information and experiences relating to classic lightweight bikes. Here are a few rules you must abide by to remain eligible to stay on this list:
- No anonymity please.. If you cannot be yourself and sign posts with your real name and home town, please do not join.
- For Sale (or Wanted) postings are OK for items fitting our topic timeline, but must always include a price up front and should be posted only once.
- Please do not post picture files (jpegs, gifs, etc.) directly to the list. Instead refer list members to that pic on a web site by posting the URL (Use one of many free photo hosting services out there!)
- As a way to avoid extraneous mail and over flowing mail boxes, messages should be carefully considered before sending, concise in content and always on topic.
- In order to reduce CR mail received by list members, please do not send "Attaboy" or "Me too" or joke messages.
- Please do not "cross post" i.e., send the same message to many lists. If we take the time to read your message, it should be very on topic and unique to our list.
- Courteous exchanges only. The list is not intended as a debate forum; in fact, it is not intended to be a "chat list" at all but one in which every post contributes to the communal knowledge base. Passionate disagreements may not be indulged in on-list.
- Members disregarding these guidelines will be summarily removed from the list.
- Optional upon joining, but highly encouraged, is for new members to provide
a little profile of themselves: what bikes they have or wished they have,
other experiences relative to these bikes and a bit about who they are...

- We have focussed on the approximate period from the beginning of the Twentieth Century, up to the early 1980s. Certain classically produced modern bikes are considered "on topic" here, but those welded, injection molded, or glued modern wonders belong in some other mail list, not this one! Ditto for mountain bikes & balloon tired bikes. Those items have merit, but they just do not belong here.
- Don't hesitate to ask a newbie question. Everyone starts at the beginning! >>
