I've pestered you guys several times asking newby questions I know. I got into cycling late, at 50. In 2 years I've gone from not being able to make it all the way up the 1/2 mile of my driveway, to riding 60-100 miles a week. I was 360 lbs on that first ride and no wonder I couldn't ride out of sight before walking. I now weigh a very fit 170 lbs. I've bought several bikes since then. I own 5 that I ride and 9 all together for the whole family. Saying all that to illustrate what a huge part of my life cycling has become. I know you folks can understand that more than most.
Enough of my history. I have finally found my new road bike. An older classic has been all I could afford, but that's OK since I'm somewhat of a classic myself. I'm leaving out in a bit to buy this bike. I hope it qualifies as a classic and is up to the high standards and beauty of some of the beautiful bikes I see posted here. Black carbon just doesn't do it for me. Anyway, here she is, hopefully my new ride.
