I always come back to cycling
Newbie to this forum but have been riding off and on for 45 years. My 1st good bike - Windsor Carrera Sport 1974. Learned how to fix tubulars with that bike. On to a MKM, then Colnago Mexico. Rode that MKM to high school in the mid 70's when all my friends were getting their first cars. I didn't mind being the "differnt" guy wearing wool riding shorts and leather shoes with cleats to 1st period.
Anyway, I'm in SoCal and ride a Trek Madrone 4.5 full Integra with 105 calipers. I also have a Raliegh fixie that I made up of Campy Record parts from my last Colnago in the early 80s. Most recent acquisition is a Burley Bossa Nova tandem. Was hoping the wife would get into it, but that ain't happening. Wealth of knowledge here. Thanks to the group in advance! Clay
