Here's a link to the site associated with the email list, for anyone
interested. If you get in touch with Dale, the list owner, don't blame
whatever happens on me, please. I've already said what I think of him
as
a list administrator (he's probably a nice guy otherwise but I wouldn't
know).
http://www.classicrendezvous.com/
and the ads page,
http://www.classicrendezvous.com/forsale.htm
I don't believe that the forsale column remains on Classic Rendezvous and
I
suspect everyone else was having the same problem I had.
A funny thing about that site is that they don't have Gary Fisher listed!
That's sort of like having a website about the early aviators and leaving
out Glenn H. Curtiss.
From http://www.classicrendezvous.com/
"The purpose of this not-for-profit site is to encourage those interested
in
enjoying and preserving vintage lightweight "racing" style bicycles of the
period from the early 20th century until 1983."
What part of that description describes Gary Fisher?
Gary Fisher isn't a framebuilder of "lightweights" (i.e. lugged road
bikes),
he is/was a mountain bike frame designer/marketer.
If you look on that site you'll find an article and pictures of Chris
Chance, Joe Breeze, Columbine Cycles, Bruce Gordon, Tom Kellogg, Paul Sadoff
and others who weren't out of school in '83.
Now I believe that the early MTB guys all should be honored for their
contributions. Especially if you're including SOME of them. And a couple of
the really great contributors was Gary Fisher and Cunningham - the two that
probably did more to force the MTB revolution than anyone else.
Isn't it about time you stop acting like a [censored]? The guy I met in
Sausalito was a pretty bright guy with a good attitude. I haven't seen a lot
of that from you since you've moved to Salt Lake City.
