He's been active on facebook. Maybe he just likes it better than here.

I hope he will return here, I was wondering about him and a few others yesterday. Seems that a few regulars have found other outlets for their bike discussions.

Probably true Bill, when the website had its make over I stopped being able to do so much with the photos from my tablet, I bowed out for a while too.

Probably a few of us had life get in the way. When I sold the old house in Montpelier two years ago, my riding took a fair hit, my wrenching took a severe hit due to lack of dedicated space. At least I'm back wrenching again and the pace is picking up. I'm starting to feel guilty regarding the Rossin and PX-10 frames that have been sitting since '14, waiting for me to start digging up parts and putting them back on the road - finally.

@sykerocker - don't feel bad. I have 3 frames that have been, at least one, sitting for that long. Two Treks from 1984, a 610 and 760. And my daughters Pinarello. At least the Tandem is built and used even though it is naked!

Aha... I find that my participation in specific forums goes down a lot if I'm not actively doing that hobby. I'm also a member of various electric guitar, tube audio, weightlifting, vintage VW, straight razor, and pipe-smoking discussion forums, and some of them haven't seen me in a while. Perhaps eventually I'll cycle back to some of those hobbies, but who knows...

The Bicycle Repair Man! Many personalities I have seen come and go on here. Lots I miss even though I never met them, a few I had the fortune to meet. What a strange, virtual world it is.

Just got back into guitars, and then back into old cars. The last month or so I have been going full blast trying to revive a 1970 Ford Torino. As with most old cars it needs mostly everything.,,,,BD

There he is.
I too have been off since the "upgrade" and when I came back I did notice there were quite a few names not popping up.
@Sixty Fiver, I hope things are well?

The last time I built a bike was October of last year, that red Bianchi. I've been riding once since December of last year. Ironically I've lost 25 pounds since I stopped riding, lol.

At least I have had a few spare minutes to tweak my Gitane Olympic and Peugeot PX-10 a little more to my liking.
