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

Welcome Clay. Now all you need is a riding partner for your Burley. Your wife probably with join you once she sees how much you enjoy cycling too
