I already introduced myself on the Vintage forum but thought I would do that here also (need some posts so I can post pics too). I also am vintage at 61 years old. I have been riding all my life. I live in a bit more urban area than I would like, as it is about 5 miles of moderate traffic and intersections until I hit some country. I can however negotiate this on mostly wider roads until I hit country. I have a couple urban bikes that make seeing the surrounding neighborhoods fun also on a Sunday morning. My dad used to take car rides "checking the crops" in the smaller town I grew up in.

I, unlike most here am a solo rider. I enjoy the peace and solitude with my thoughts. I like fine mechanical things, hence my recent purchase of a 1985 Centurion Ironman. I was drawn here while doing research mostly for another recently purchased Huffy (Raleigh) 3-speed. The great interest in the Ironman bikes made me join rather than remain a lurker.
