Re: [CR] Welcome to the "Classicrendezvous" mailing list (Digest mode)

Hello, I'm new to the list.

I am now the bicycle technical person maintaining and updating Sheldon Brown's Web site, http://sheldonbrown.com, along with his widow, Harriet Fell, who very fortunately is a computer science professor and is handling most of the Web site issues.

I'm pleased to let you know that we have gone al through the Glossary on the site, and a number of other files. Most recently, I have completed an update of all the material on Sturmey-Archer internal-gear hubs. We have full coverage of them back to about 1950, with links to technical information on our own site and several others. We have historical information on many 1930s hubs, too. Start page is http://sheldonbrown.com/sturmey-archer.html. We link to Tony Hadland's site and the Sturmey-Archer Heritage site for information on earlier hubs. Please do consult our site, and also, let us know of any issues you have with it. There is a link on the pages for feedback and questions.

We have put Google ads on the pages. They compromise page appearance, but on the other hand, they pay us enough so we can afford to spend time on updating.

For the bio the Webmaster asked for, see http://bikexprt.com/witness/bikeres3.htm

I own and regularly ride a Raleigh Twenty, 1971 Peugeot UO-8, 1976 Bob Jackson Super Tourist (all custom-equipped by myself) and early 1950s Raleigh Clubman (frame found in the trash and rebuilt as a fixie), also an old mountain bike which I never ride and a couple of newer bicycles which I do ride sometimes..

Thanks!
