Well, the last time I mentioned a mou.... bike it caused such a stir, and eventual fighting among the members, that the CR list was closed down for two weeks. Pretty traumatic!
John Dunn in Boise who has never mentioned.....that kind of bike.....again, until now

degree of originality as the forerunner of an epidemic that eventually
affected millions of people. Then again, AIDs came about in the early 80s
also and affected millions of people, but not quite by choice and popularity
and definitely not a good thing! It has introduced people to cycling and
gotten more people involved in the sport also and a great deal of mr bikers
ride road as well.

> Who on the list has a classic cyclocross bicycle? I love cyclocross and I
am hoping it fits into the realm of the classic list here based on the close
relationship with road biking (off season roadies). what types of classic
cyclocross bicycles were popular or frequently found in the states? Were the
cyclocross bikes of olden days equipped much like the road bikes? They must
have been very close to road machines. Did they use calipers? Cantilevers
came about later did they not? Just curious about the cross bikes of old.
reply offlist if this isn't close enough to classic bike content.
