Longtime lurker from San Francisco

As the title of my thread indicates I’ve been a longtime member of this forum. Back when I first joined I was into Fixies. I ended up selling that bike that I built up from the knowledge I found on here. I had stopped riding until this year due to the pandemic. I’ve since fallen in love with biking again after first purchasing an 85 Trek 560. About a month after that purchase I found a 1990 Trek 750 in amazing condition which I couldn’t pass up.
This year has been full of lows but without all that free time I’ve had I don’t know if I would have given biking another chance.

Great time to ride

Enjoy it while we can. I recently cleaned up my bikes out there again due to covid layoff. Best thing is I got back on the bikes.
All the best. Jamb

Welcome! I'm envious of your Trek 750! How much did you get it for?

You are not alone

Covid sure got us off our tails and back on the trails right? 😉
