Hello from Sweden!

Hey! Found this forum a couple of weeks ago while I tried to look for some info about my old mountainbike (and ofcourse I found everything I was looking for).
​​​​​​
I live in the awfully flat central part of Sweden. I mostly ride an old Raleigh that barley works.

Right now I'm about to start converting my Mtb into a dropbar gravelbike.

Hey Kafviar!

Hello from a very flat part of California where lots of almonds, walnuts, cotton, fruit trees, and probably the best tomatoes in the world are grown. It's 100 degrees every day during summer here, the crops love it, especially the tomatoes.

Welcome. Old Raleigh’s are nice. Maybe you’ll get ideas to fix it up as well.

Sounds amazing! We don't really have anything else than berries and mushrooms in the forests around here.

We will soon have days with - 3, - 4. Brrrr.

Thanks! I've been thinking about that. Probably needs alot of work though unfortunately. Who knows, when I get a little more money I might make it my next project.
