Bruce Robbins in one of those interspersed with boredom moments wrote ; ---------- On a slightly tangential topic, wouldn't it also be possible for members to post details of the bikes in their collections and for this information to be held on a website somewhere as well? ----------

Bruce and I have talked of this in the past, and one thought was to have a site similar to the single-speed ? site, but in this case offering effectively a "readers wives" (or all the PC derivatives) page to every CR member to post the one bike from their collection that says the most about them... Basically showing the one machine that in the event that all bar one, for whatever reason had to go, would be the one that you would keep or be most loathed to part with. One page per person, indexed by marque. All I'd be looking for is single JPEG image circa 700 pixels wide - just a side or 3/4 view of your prize machine, a wee description followed by a specification, a contact address and where appropriate or helpful your website address....

If I get around about 50 votes for it - enough to make it worthwhile from a membership of over 700 ? I'll do the donkey work, so come on what do you think - good idea or lame duck ?
