Hello from So. California
Hi. My name is Chris.
I'm 60+ years old and getting back into cycling. I still own my first road bike that was bought new in the late 1970's It is an Italian Columbia double-butted fork, tube, stays chromed and painted. Almost every component has been replaced at least once. It's on its second headset and bottom bracket and 3rd set of wheels. I've not ridden the bike for a few years so I'm doing an overhaul and updating the brakes.
I want to learn MTB riding and just acquired a free full suspension bike that needs some minor work. I'll be posting many questions as I know little about MTBs or how to service shocks
While getting the two bikes back to working order I'm working out on an old stationary bike I rebuilt.

Welcome Chris! Fellow socal rider here. What kind of MTB did you acquire?
