Hi all,
My name is Christina, born and raised in Portland, OR and proud of it. I've grown up riding bikes and now at 20 years old, still haven't got a driver's license. My Bikes are a 2005 Bianchi Pista (decals stripped). Wheelset that I built recently consists of stock hubs with pink velocity rims (trendy I know, but whatever). My other bike is a steel Fuso straight out of the 80's with dura ace comoponents except for 1 ultegra shifter. Its former owner was Nike exec and bike racer Steve Wright. I am also hotly anticipating the pennyfarthing which I plan on buying this summer. I don't know how many other women actively participate in this forum but those of you who do, I would love to hear from you! I hope to see all you Portland forum people at the Sheldon Brown memorial ride on April 1st!

Hello Christina, we need photos of the Fuso! There are quite a few women here (I'm one), and one of our Administrators, donnamb, is very active in the bike scene in Portland. In fact, she's apparently off doing the Bunny ride today :) .

Do you do the zoobomb thing? Altbikes?

What's this about a pennyfarthing? Do tell!

Welcome to BF!
