Our rules, please read
before participating... |
|
Welcome to the
Classic
Rendezvous community!
This group is "a gathering of friends who have been invited into the
list owner's garage to talk about vintage lightweight bikes."
|
1. Sign off all messages with your first and last name, city,
state and country. No abbreviations.
2. Please stay within the time line, up to & including 1983 but
not after, or to "Keeper of the Flame" bikes or components (See #10
below.)
3. "For SALE" postings should be for pre-1983 or be distinctly
"Keeper of the Flame" items.
- May be only be posted one time (no error correction, no "Sold"
announcement, no lowered price, etc.)
- Items should be accurately described with an "up-front" price and
pictures should be attached or linked to.
- The description (esp. size) and price must be in your FS CR post
itself (not another location like Craig's list)
- Pictures must be available at some non-disappearing location, either
attached or on Google pics/Flickr, etc.
- Bottom line; plan your sale carefully and include everything, because
it cannot be repeated.
4. "Want to TRADE" items are very much like For Sale items, in
that failing a trade offer, they are very likely for sale. To avoid the
appearance of trolling under the guise of seeking a trade, Trade items
have the same requirements of For Sale items, i.e., an up front price
and pictures.
5. Do NOT use the CR group to establish "value". "What is
my/your/this item worth?" is an inappropriate topic. For this, search
online auctions such as eBay.
6. Please make every post substantive in which every message
contributes to the communal knowledge base. 3 messages maximum per
day/per member.
7. Please do not send "Attaboy," "Me too", or jokes. These posts
waste bandwidth and jokes are too often misunderstood and create
strife.
8. Civility is #1 in importance! No obscene (as the list owner
views it), scatological, rude, off-color, vulgar, ugly, demeaning, or
insulting language. Use thereof will result in instant removal!
9. Commercial messages are OK IF they are specifically On Topic
and are not repetitive.
10. Our focus is the early 1900s to 1983, and "KOF" or "Keepers
Of the Flame". KOF refers to bike frame sets, components & accessories
that are made by traditional means, with traditional aesthetics. Off
Topic are modern welded, injection molded, or glued bicycles, mountain
bikes, "middle weights", BMX, recumbents, and balloon-tired bikes. Also
Off Topic are components that are post-1983 or are harbingers of a new,
aesthetically "modern" era (like cycle computers, clipless pedals, index
shifting, etc.)
