Chuck,
I think the Timeline Special Exhibit is indeed one of the best concepts anyone has ever come up with for our vintage gatherings. By far the best way to learn and compare any brand of classic bike. My compliments to t he Chef!

I've had some questions about what the theme of this year's Velo
Rendezvous 7 is.
Well actually there is NO theme. This year there is a Colnago
Timeline Special Exhibit... last year there was a Bianchi Timeline
and the year before there was a Masi Timeline. But these are not
themes, they are Timeline Special Exhibits.
I've had a theme for the first four VRs but always had people saying,
"But I don't have an X bike so I guess I won't bring a bike...
sniff." Or, "I see someone is already bringing an X bike so I won't
bother bringing mine... sniff, sniff."
The Timeline Special Exhibit works out much better and it is truly
AMAZING to see thirty, forty or fifty bikes of the same marque
spanning decades to compare and contrast. A unique education! And
everyone brings their cool bikes because there is no theme to dictate
what they bring to the show. It's all good!!!
