40
Came here because East Hill said that I should check it out when I first joined BF. Pshawed the suggestion, then checked it out one day, it's a regular stop now for me (Bike Mechanics and Road Cycling are the others). Cut my teeth on bikes in the early 80s so I know pretty much from there on forward. Worked in shops from 83-97 so know that stuff the best. And it seems that there are fewer people than I thought who knows the 80s era of road bikes, and since I tinkered at the time, I sometimes know about some of the questions people ask.
Although I'll be "restoring" at least one of my old bikes, I don't really ride C&V. Never was into steel. So although I might contribute to C&V, I don't drink the KoolAid
