Maybe if we're really good, Dale would rope off a little section on the CR site, the way CampyOnly.com does... Folks send in shots of their bikes (or a link if they are already posted elsewhere) and they're posted together in a retro section.

Boy, glad to hear I'm not the only one who does this... I've been "collecting" E-bay bikes for awhile (its actually developed into a pretty interesting hobby for a perpetually broke person such as myself...) I've got around half a gig so far, including some other stuff like scans of old catalogs and bike posters. Would love to swap CD's with anybody who's willing.
