Got turned onto this site by friends. Lots of good stuff to read about. Great resource!

I like to ride old Italiano steel steeds (mostly) but got a Ti to ride when the club gets together and the pace gets hot. Still prefer the old steel ride and Campy components, but Ti is low maintenance and that's a plus when you live where the humidity numbers are often as high as the temperature (it's a penisula).

Prefer road (mostly fixed), but still like to get dirty now and then. Anyway, look forward to reading and corresponding.

Ciao,
Archdruid

Sounds like you have some neat rides...

What's the Ti bike? Litespeed, or something else?

Welcome to the forums!
You can chat about your old steel in the Classic section, or your old body in the 50+. When you hammer on the TI roadie the road forum is a great place.
Enjoy!

Welcome to another old steely. Got a 25-year-old Colnago still doing regular duty, although it has to shout over the aluminum and carbon fiber hoss to get my attention much of the time. Do a lot of tandeming with my better half, and that baby is chromo (the tandem, not the better half).

Happy riding!
