Ken and everyone else:
I am not trying to embarrass Ken but I felt I should make sure y'all understand that Mountain bikes are off topic here on the CR list.
Allow me to quote from the <A HREF="http://www.classicrendezvous.com./CR_list_rules.htm">CR list rules</A>:
" - While the CR focus is on the beginning of the Twentieth century to 1983, a few contemporary, classically made small workshop bikes are considered "on topic" here (if in doubt, ask the web master first!), but those welded, injection molded, or glued modern wonders belong in some other mail list. Ditto for mountain bikes, recumbents & balloon tired bikes. Those items have merit, but they just do not belong on the Classic Rendezvous."
Our friend and fellow CR list member Jeff Archer was talking about starting a vintage MTB e-list.. Did you do that Jeff? He is the proprietor of First Flight Bicycle Shop (and museum!) in Statesville, NC and is having a BIG event in a couple of months:
"...the August 27/28, 2005 Crossroad Bike Festival. Featured speakers (so far) will include Ross Shafer (former commander-in-chief of Salsa Cycles), Paul Sadoff (Rock Lobster), Jacquie Phelan and Paul Thomasberg (former racer and now in the skunk work program for Shimano). I would like to thank Fox Racing Shocks, Cane Creek Components and Shimano for their generous support of the event"
