Flatlander

Basic intro:
*66 yrs. old, male
*Been riding 40 yrs., last 15 months in Fla.
*Steel until now--looking to buy carbon, probably "endurance" frame to accommodate very odd build-short arms, long legs
*Have had 2 custom steel frames-60 cm seat tube/56 cm top tube
*Ride about 150-200 mi./week, mostly group rides these days
*Looking to stay longer with the faster groups
*Spend some time in the Colo. foothills

Lots of FL folks on here. Check out the Southeast Regional subforum to meet some of them.
