No it is now called IVMTB. Very exclusive club.
Are you a member, Kevin? Will you be sporting one of those fantastic avatars soon?

I post the questions here...with mixed results. I imagine my results would not be much better elsewhere, depending on the mood of the potential responders, and the quality of my potential build. But I've been wrong every now and again.
Right now, I have a 86 Mountain Goat WTR disassembled, a 85 Ritchey Team Comp disassembled, a 97 WTB Ti Phoenix disassembled, a 90 FCC Yo Eddy disassembled, a 88 wicked, whole but soon undergoing more changes, and a 95 IF deluxe, getting broken down and made into a ss. They are my keepers, as I've been reducing the number of bikes I own, and upgrading at the same time. Posting mostly on RB has allowed me to evolve in my collecting and appreciation of VRC mountain bikes without undergoing ridicule. Look through my post history, and you'll see a couple average or well below average bikes- they meant something to me, and were a stepping stone in my rediscovery of bikes past. I've learned quite a bit through trial and error, and through the old VRC posts, made during a less toxic time, when some of the guys ripping into people now, were newbs themselves, asking what might now be deemed stupid questions.
I find as much as I can via google, many times it leads to old VRC posts from years ago, or old Bike Forums posts...I'm grateful for them. The questions I have little luck finding answers to, I post on here, or email/pm people privately that might know. I find, sometimes, some people are more helpful in private than in public for some reason...I'll let others speculate as to why that might be.
