  • Help educate each other & newbies
  • Use this as a place to showcase our pride & joy bicycles and bike memorabilia including builds & restorations or original finds
  • Bring out items people have never seen that may be 50 to 150 years old

  • Bring new people who are interested in old bikes into the hobby whether their interest lies in rides, show, restorations, educating themselves, etc.
  • And yes Buy & sell
  • Etc, you get the point"
Thank you, and very well said @Gary Mc
Sounds like an excellent "mission statement" for The Cabe to adopt.

Ideally each of us is here because of an interest in vintage bicycles. Of course that interest is always changing in flavor and intensity, so balance is important. Reminding ourselves of the points above and remembering that this is a site about vintage bicycles will help in maintaining that balance.
Many of us are primarily excited about fresh finds and adding new goodies to our pile, some like to share info and learn something new, others like to preserve and restore, still others are all about the ride, but our common ground is old bicycles :)
The Cabe and all our comments are open for viewing to anyone who visits, registered member or not.
The likelihood of new enthusiasts becoming involved and fresh metal coming to market increases as folks visit the site,
like what they see enough to join, and are then welcomed and encouraged to participate and contribute.

Spring is just down the hill: March 20, 2017!
We're here because we like to have fun with old bikes, right? Howsabout we post a photo chronicle of a project or repair, crack open that file cabinet then scan and share some old catalogs, or take part in a local ride. Better still, start a local ride!
Get into that garage and then get that bike on the road see some new things and meet some new folks. Get out to the swaps, shows, and meets...and remember:
have fun and post lots of pictures! :)
