Jeff: It is against CR list policy to post items for sale without firm prices. I am copying below the CR rules so you can review them. Thanks Dale Brown CR list manager _______________________________________
Welcome to the Classic Rendezvous mailing list!
The idea for this list is to exchange information and experiences relating to classic lightweight bikes. Here are a few rules you must abide by to remain eligible to stay on this list:
- No anonymity please.. If you cannot be yourself and sign posts with your real name, please do not join.
- For Sale (or Wanted) postings are OK, but must always include a price up front and should be posted only once.
- Please do not post picture files (jpegs, gifs, etc.) directly to the list. Instead refer list members to that pic on a web site by posting the URL (Use one of many free ones out there, if need be!)
- As a way to avoid extraneous mail and over flowing mail boxes, messages should be carefully considered before sending, CONCISE IN CONTENT AND ALWAYS ON TOPIC.
- In order to reduce CR mail received by list members, please do not send "Attaboy" or "Me too" or joke messages.
- Please do not "cross post" i.e., send the same message to many lists. If we take the time to read your message, it should be very on topic and unique to our list.
- Courteous exchanges only. The list is not intended as a debate forum; in fact, it is not intended to be a "chat list" at all but one in which every post contributes to the communal knowledge base. Passionate disagreements may not be indulged in on-list.
- Members disregarding these guidelines will be given one warning and then summarily booted from the list!
- Optional upon joining, but highly encouraged, is for new members to provide a little profile of themselves: what bikes they have or wished they have, other experiences relative to these bikes and a bit about who they are...(Check out the archives for info on the rest of us!)
- We have focussed on the approximate period from the beginning of the Twentieth Century, up to the early 1980s. Certain classically produced modern bikes are considered "on topic" here, but those welded, injection molded, or glued modern wonders belong in some other mail list, not this one! Ditto for mountain bikes & balloon tired bikes. Those items have merit, but they just do not belong here.
- Don't hesitate to ask a newbie question. Everyone starts at the beginning!
Please contact me at oroboyz@aol.com if you have questions.
Have fun and welcome aboard!
Dale Brown,
List Manager
