Yes, I post in and follow the C&V Forum over there, as do a few other CR list members. It's a good resource, but mostly a younger crowd without any stringent rules about what classic and vintage means. However, I don't believe the majority of CR members go there. I know one of the CR list rules is not to cross post from other bike lists, but I take that to mean other bikelist.org lists. I don't think it would be redundant to pose the same questions here as you would in the C&V Forum because there's only a small overlap, but I guess the ultimate decision would be up to Dale the Listmeister.
