Well....

I own a Teledyne precisely because it was virtually the first real production Ti frame (Speedwell Ti excepted), so it's historic and groundbreaking. I also own an NOS Graftek for exactly the same reasons.

That still dosesn't make that modern TIG'ed or screwed, glued, and tatooed stuff "classic."

As for what should be discussed on the CR list, I humbly suggest you go re-read the CR rules & regs.

Cheers,
