Hello All :)

I have been a long time bicycle commuter, about 4 miles each way (although my new job will be 6). I have WAY too many bikes for my small house, 12 right now, more if you count bare frames. My basement is a mess with parts and wheels, my wife has threatened to leave me quite a few times on this account. I am still without my drivers license at the age of 25, but I do have my permit :(
I like vintage bikes, I am not really into the whole STI, carbon fiber, super light weight bikes. Just give me a old school frame set up fixie and I am golden. I also enjoy working on bikes, as much as riding them. If anyone in the Minneapolis area needs any help working on bikes, feel free to contact me, I like to help out.

Hope to talk to you all soon.

Fixed-Gear Phil

BTW I am a MONTANA transplant, being raised in Missoula from the age of 4 till 20.

Welcome to the forums! Cute intro.

By the way, it's not that you have too many bikes, you just don't have enough house to contain your bikes, right? ;) See the glass as half full, and the world is suddenly a better place to live in.

I aspire to be like you- if I can get 2 bikes, I'm one step closer.

Welcome!

P.S. I have my license but I barely use it except for identification purposes. So don't worry if you only have the permit, unless you need to get a second identification!
