How many here are on the CR list? I tried to join the list a few years ago but either I didn't enlist correctly or was silently rejected for whatever reason. I do lurk there and search the archives occasionally, but sometimes the exclusivity and "snarkiness" (their term) sort of turn me off. Who wants to hear someone shouting and lecturing OFF TOPIC! when they ask a simple question that relates to vintage bikes, but because it is either researchable otherwise (google, etc.) or has ties to modern bicycle construction it gets rudely received? The knowledge and data base there is incredible but the attitude seems a bit harsh at times.
