Dale- Thank you for the reminder. I had forgotten the rules about identity, since I joined over 2 months ago. I also type with one finger, as you reminded Trevor- so I appreciate your patience.

Hi "Bicycles" (?)
Thanks for writing and participating in the CR e-list, but I am surprised that you missed a key requirement for posting messages; that being the necessity to sign off messages with your first and last name, hometown, state and country. Each and every message must have that...
The rules are here for your reference:

First, for introduction, I'm new to the list, and truly humbled while reading the e-mails posted by so many very knowledgable classic enthusiasts. I've avidly ridden and built up bikes all my life, since the 50's, and I know so little about the European classics, but want to learn. The steel, lugged bikes I enjoy, ride, and collect in recent years are the early Treks, among others, like Raleigh, Fuji, Austro Daimler. I see a never ending stream of lugged steel bikes, and in my lifetime I don't forsee any shortage of these. There are so many enthusiasts that carefully use classic components that I don't see that stream ending either. I personally have enough complete bikes to supply 15- 20 riders and plenty of spare bits and framesets to boot. Just think how many collectors like myself have as many or more in the stable than I do. Of course, all bikes ought to be ridden, including the most beautiful, valuable rare ones. And there are many folks still getting into frame building lugged steel, and many of these are a lot younger than me, which further insures that bikes we love will continue to be around long into the future. HUH??? indeed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Schmidt" <chuckschmidt@earthlink.net> To: "CR RENDEZVOUS" <classicrendezvous@bikelist.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 9:02 PM Subject: Re: [CR]Disappearing traditional bikes
