Old Catalog Scanning
While icing down my knees after today's ride (an hour long affair involving beer too) I decided to organize my decades old file box of catalogs. I have about 12+ inches of this stuff starting from the late 1970s and ending in the late 1990s. My initial categories are frame tubing, frame parts, frame tools, frame builders, general parts, design/mag articles, and misc. This will be a long term project and I am still deciding on how to document it all. For now I am thinking about posting to my Flicker. Thoughts? Andy

Just keep backups. Not that I expect Flickr to up and disappear overnight (or lock up your data and blackmail you for it), but we've seen a few different platforms do that in the past (e.g. Wool Jersey, geocities, photobucket) so don't trust anyone as the sole repository.
Thanks for doing this. I look forward to seeing whatcha got.
