First Time / Long Time: Hello from Iowa!

Hello everyone,

Great to be officially joining you, after enjoying and learning from your posts as I learn more about bike maintenance and restoration. I'm primarily a road rider, but eager to get into more off-road ventures since recently moving to the Midwest. I would love to find a vintage steel or titanium frame to convert into a 1x commuter and gravel steed. If you have ever taken on such a project, I would greatly appreciate any tips you can offer.

See you out there,
JJ
