Don; As a member of both the Bob-list and the CR, I'll take minor issue with your wording of "hoarde". The CR folks of friends of mine and collectors of Lightweight cycles, not hoarders. The folks on this list take great pride in thier hobby, and keep these fine machines from rusting away in attics, so sorry if I take mild offense at your comments.
