C&V blogs?
I'm a fan of blogs, especially up kept ones. Can you recommend me any that at least heavily feature C&V bicycles? Photos, resto's, ride reports, reviews, whatever.
One that I found recently that I like is Lovely Bicycle!.
Any other good ones?

I'm sure this has it's fair share of followers here:
The Retrogrouch
Plus, the author is near-ish to where I live, so seeing familiar rides and landscapes is kind of nice.

Don't forget [MENTION=294625]Oldairhead[/MENTION]'s Utah Randonneur blog.
And [MENTION=93662]Charles Wahl[/MENTION]'s Disraeli Gears.
I used to read Lovely Bicycle, but sort of lost track when the author moved to Ireland and changed the focus a bit. She used to post here as [MENTION=369891]velouria[/MENTION], I believe. It was fun for me to read her, because I was just discovering old bikes at the time and she was going through a lot of the same learning curve I was. I'm kind of a sucker for the somewhat mannered, flowery and formal prose there too. Is it a put on? Is it the way she really thinks and writes? Is she my overtly literate anglophile grandmother, reincarnated?

Disraeli Gears
Erm, I am not the person responsible for the excellent Disraeli Gears site (Michael Sweatman). We simply share an appreciation of the malapropism that became the title of Cream's best album.

I'm a fan of the malapropism, and a big fan of the album too. Still have it on vinyl, somewhere.
