Hi, from a steel bike lover
 

Hello everyone,

Happy to be part of this community. I`m living in Portugal for 2 years now and would highly recommend the country for bike visitors! Its beautiful outdoors and great weather calls for great morning rides with awesome views!

I used to have fixed gear bikes (had one Colnago and a Condor Pista from UK, both my passions) but since living in Lisbon with lots of hills I`ve returned to road bikes but closed to vintage models.

Nowadays I`m riding with a smooth Trek 2100 Composite (Carbon aluminium frameset) with Shimano 105 Componentes and its sweet but not that comfortable so I`m in the process of purchasing a true vintage steel bike with Columbus tubing but more recent specs to guarantee a safe ride and that I can keep up with my carbon bike friends lol

I`m happy to be part of this forum trading info and love for bike world.

Cheers

Hi,

I spent 2 weeks in Portugal last June. One week in Lisbon and one week on a bike tour across the Alentejo.

Beautiful country and beautiful people.

Welcome and checkout the classic and vintage forum. In 2010, I raced at the Velodrome in Anadia, Portugal. After racing, we drove from Anadia to Lisbon. Wonderful scenery.

It’s nice to see a steel lover around these days. I rode my dads hand me down Schwinn Tempo for many years and loved it. I have had many bikes over the years but enjoyed that one, maybe more so because it was my dads at one time.

Welcome to the forums! Steel is real. :speedy:

Thanks everyone for the warm welcoming and some tips :)

I'll definitely be sticking around and will dive into vintage steel pages asap!

You are all welcome to drop me a message when back to Portugal

Welcome to BikeForums. Seeing all the vintage bikes on the C&V forum inspired me to rebuild my 27 year old Ochsner. I am loving riding it once again.

That's nice. Do you have pictures of this beauty to share with us?

Welcome

thanks!
