Hi all, I am Vince and am an older rider (61) and have been riding since my early teens, 1970 or so. I retired and started working part time in a bike shop in my area. I have built both of my bikes on Lynskey Titanium frames along with the wheels. I don't get to ride as much as I would like here in the Pittsburgh area, but we are going to be moving to Hawaii soon and I hope to get a lot more saddle time. Cheers to everyone.

Welcome Vince from a 71 y/o roadie. I too love Ti. My 2001 Litespeed (hand built in Chattanooga by the Lynskey folks before they sold the Litespeed brand) is my favorite ride.
I too worked in a bike shop as my semi-retirement job for 3 years. It was fun.

Pittsburgh is becoming a very bike friendly city. Welcome.

Nice to meet you Ron. Sounds like we have a few things in common. Have fun riding!

They are working on it but it is still a rough place to ride the roads. Outside the city there are few bike lanes and motorists here are not very accepting of cyclists.
