My early exposure to us vintage bike geeks was through Bicycle Trader initially and most definitely Mike Kone @ Bicycle Classics. The Bicycle Guide article about Mike's shop was a validation that I was not the only crazy on the planet.
Bill Ward always had some cool goods; as did a guy from Michigan who would mail/fax a stock list. {Greg Parker that wasn't you... or was it?}
The CR site and email list was like finding a long lost friend.

VBS was really my first exposure to the possibility that there were lots more crazies like me out there, colliding aimlessly in the dense gases.
