Hello from Missouri!

Repeatedly found these forums researching old bike models while bike shopping and had to make an account. (Ended up with a 90s Giant Perigee road bike that I think I'm going to love.) I'm a longtime casual biker hoping to learn more bike maintenance/mechanics and vintage models

I've got one of those Giant Perigee bikes; mine has been well loved to the point that there's nothing original left to it, even the frame has been welded and modified. But it carried me to my first road wins, first tour across Europe and got me my first cyclocross wins so its earned its many changes. Owned since new and still like to ride it.
Welcome to the forum, cool place to hang out and a nice bike to ride.

Welcome to the forum, cool place to hang out and a nice bike to ride.
Great to hear! I was looking for something cheap, a fun color, and seemingly a bit less common than the Schwinns and Raleighs that are everywhere, and this fit the bill! Getting my post count up in part so I can post a picture and learn more about it, the model year particularly. There's a great website for dating vintage trek models by the frame colors but I haven't found anything similar for Giant.
