Introductions - Hello from Austria

Hello,
originally I registered just to be allowed to see an atached picture of a posting when I googled for details of my 'new' Francesoc Moser frame http://www.flickr.com/photos/32998552@N06/tags/francescomoser/ .

This (European) morning the admistrator sent a (n automatic) message to ask to introduce my self. So I'm going to do this:



Primary I'm just a daily driver biker in my hometown (~250000 habitants) and willing to exhaust (caused on too good and too much meals during the last weeks ;) ). So I make now and then smaller or longer trips here around.
Secondary I don't like to spend much money for bicycles but I like to develop DIY projects so I could realize also some bicycle projects (Retro Direct power train, LED lamps, DIY tandem...). here are the listed tags of my bicycle related stuff:

Where in Austria are you?
I spent a bit of time in Wein, one of my favorite cities in the world!!!

Hello 10Wheels and Marty,
thanks for welcome!

I live in Graz (Styria) ~180km southly of Vienna/Wien. Nice that you can type intersting German letters, like 'ß'. :)

I forgot to 'explain' the strange nickname which I use in/at all bicycle forums (in general Austrian and german forums provide enough discussion). Marty maybe you could complete. :)

NutzSportRadler is a designed word (by me) which does not exist in German language (for the others: Note Austrian language is very, very similar to German). This 3 words should express my favourite way to ride a bicycle.
'Nutz' is used at the beginning of some German words like a utility/commercial vehicle (Nutzfahrzeug) or domestic/working animal (Nutztier) --> practical use/value of anything.
'Sport' You won't believe Sport is sport. :)
'Radler' is slightly colloquial for a man who rides a bicylcle (woman: Radlerin).
My nickname should tell you that I like to do (road)biking as sport sometimes but I hate to fulfill training programmes - but if I can combine a bike ride with a visit friend (or a Citroën meeting) or purchasing a part outside of town I like to do this rides with bike (instead of using a car).
I hope you got a feeling what I'd like to tell you. :)
