Hi from Boston

Hi, I am a longtime user of the forum, mostly just reading but I'm still under 10 posts so I can't do much.
Moved to Boston from San Francisco recently and doing some bike commuting on a daily basis. I have a Tomassini with campy chorus and record. Love the bike and I'm in the process of replacing the 8speed rings and cassette. All thats left is finding a NOS 53t front chainring!

I brought a bike with me to Sunnyvale a few years ago. I loved riding out there. I almost made it to San Francisco my last weekend. 102 mile round trip.

Welcome! I moved to Boston ten years ago and love it. I ended up marrying a Boston gal and bought a house a couple towns up. We both work in Cambridge. Be sure to venture into all the difference sections of Boston and Cambridge and Somerville to check 'em out. A bike would be the perfect way to do it.

Thanks for the intro's friends! I've been riding my cannondale to cambridge while the road bike is getting repaired. I went in for a tune up and ended up doing a big rebuild.

Hello from another SF member! I had traveled to another state to pick up a Tomassini and ended up with something else...
