On the web
since 1999
"...web site has been of great value to me. It's a thrill when I
stumble
across a bike part that I don't
know
anything about and then find a picture
and info about it on Classic
Rendezvous!" BR
The
Classic Rendezvous:
dedicated
to Lightweight Vintage Bicycles,
circa 1900~1983.
The
purposeof 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.
These are primarily steel, most
often lug built, not welded,
injection molded, or glued. Here we
are devoted to road and pista
machines, not mountain bikes, BMX,
recumbent, middle weights nor
balloon-tired bikes. Those bikes
have merit, but are not "on topic"
for the Classic Rendezvous.
Our goals are:
1.) identification of makers.
2.) publishing images of original
bicycles & their components.
3.) providing key information about
the makers & their history.
4.) listing resources.
5.) offering camaraderie among the
enthusiasts.
Please contribute any information or
illustrations you might have.
Corrections are gratefully accepted.
