PS: This event is on the <http://www.classicrendezvous.com/calendar.htm>
Classic Rendezvous event calendar, the largest online network of classic
lightweight bike enthusiasts. We're considering bikes "vintage" per the
Classic Rendezvous definition: thru 1983 (pre-SIS/ STI and other advanced
technologies). We do, however, invite and honor the "Keepers of the Flame",
bikes made by those still building in the classic steel tradition.
