My name is Peter Kohler and while I've enjoyed the Classic Rendezvous web site, I am new to this discussion group and impressed with the tremendous wealth of knowledge available here.

I live in Washington, DC and really enjoy the wealth of paths and cycle routes that this area offers.

My main interest is British bicycles, specifically roadsters and club bikes of the late '40s and 50s. I grew up with Raleighs in the 1960s although I lapsed when I was 16 and bought a Peugeot UE-8! I am the founder and moderator of the Yahoo Group "Roll Britannia".

My collection comprises:

1948 Raleigh Dawn Tourist 1948 Raleigh Lenton Clubman 1949 Raleigh Clubman 1951 Raleigh Lenton Tourist 1951 Raleigh Clubman 1978 Raleigh DL-1 Tourist 1978 Raleigh Competition GS 1949 Rudge Super Safety 1951 Rudge De Luxe Sports Tourist

with a post-war Raleigh RRA presently in the acquisition stage!

I also enjoy collecting catalogues and accessories and like "period" correct when it comes to fitments and accessories. But most important to me is actual enjoying riding what I collect. And sharing information and resources with fellow riders and enthusiasts. I look forward to partcipating and contributing to CR.
