Hey y'all.

Just joined after trying to find an active cycling community that ain't ******.
Currently live in Vancouver, BC do mostly road riding, although started out on a bmx and mountain bike 20 years ago.

I'm currently riding a 1994 TiCycles Softride. My previous bikes were a 199X Cyclops Stealth Softride (broken chainstay), an early 90's Softride Qualifier 650 (cracked headtube) and my dad's original Colnago from the early 70s.

See ya around the forums!

Heya Gnip, welcome aboard from another newbie. Those are some neat bikes. I feel weird getting into it now and realizing I have no history at all with it.

Welcome. BTW that Softride bike sure looks interesting. How do you adjust seat height?

There’s a bolt where it connects to the frame enabling the entire beam to move up and down. The seat can also slide along the beam and the angle can be adjusted.

You're making history every day with it. History is only a thought in our minds. What matters is the present.
So keep riding.
