Greetings all!

This looks like a good place to learn new things and share information. I'm a sponge for pre-2002 Litespeed and pre-2000 Slingshot information. Looking forward to many interactions here.

Hi Speedoflite, Welcome to Bike Forums.
68 y/o here. How old is your old?

Do you still Tri race?

Hey 10 Wheels,

I'm 54yo -- a mere pup from your perspective, I'm sure. Yes, tris are still in my blood, though calf and Achilles injuries have kept me at Olys and sprints for the last 4 years. The upside of that is I've rediscovered the joy of long rides and multi-day trips on a road bike. You race road or tris? Good lookin' grandkids, by the way.
