Hello from NC
Nearing retirement & just really got back into cycling back in January. Can't believe I've waited this long! Had a heavy Novara touring bike that I rarely used. Found a used Giant TCR SL1 which I loved but was a bit too rough on the greenways. Bought a Specialized Roubaix Pro after some suggestions but I wish I'd have kept the Giant too. Now I have a project frame that needs parts, an Eddy Merckx Team 7-Eleven. I tried to post photos but I'll have to hope I get 9 replies to thank so I can post some photos! ;-) Cheers, Daren

Welcome from Kinston, didn't I see you did a metric in Burgaw yesterday? How'd you find Burgaw from G'boro? Wilmington connections?

I used to live that way before I got into riding. Checkout Cyclesdeoro for local happenings around Greensboro. From what I hear it's a great resource and group rides for that area.
Welcome.
Welcome.

Thanks! Yes, Dale and his staff at cycles de ORO are great! My Roubaix is there right now getting some new handlebars! ;-)
