Welcome to the Classicrendezvous@bikelist.org mailing list! Welcome to the Classic Rendezvous mailing list!
This list exists to provide for the exchange of information and experiences relating to classic lightweight bikes. Please note however, that this list is a privately owned forum which extends invitations to like-minded enthusiasts. Unlike many other Internet lists, it is not a "public" entity where democratic rule apply. All invitees are required to conform to a standard of behavior. 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 all posts with your real name and home town, please do not join.
- For Sale or Wanted to Buy postings are permissable for items fitting the CR 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... Check out the CR archives at for info on the rest of
us! http://www.phred.org/
- We have focused on the approximate period from the beginning of the Twentieth Century, up to 1983. A few contemporary, classically produced small workshop bikes are considered "on topic" here (ask!), 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!
Please contact me at oroboyz@aol.com if you have questions.
Have fun and welcome aboard!
