Bruce,
I would go for that. The "keepers" are a very small group anyway. They really are off topic unless it was built before 1983. I was active beginning in 1974 as far as bikes with my brand or name on them. Almost none of the "Keepers" who were building frames at that time are still building frames now that completely embody the principals we seek to study on this list. I'm comfortable with eliminating the "Keeper" thing if everyone else feels the same.
Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA Let me know what I need to do to aquire the "Wee Scot" for my collection.
