Hello fellow cyclists.
I'm from Victoria Canada and have been into bikes since my factory Kuwahara when I was 9. As my name implies I was a messenger in the late 90's, during my 20's, and really loved that job, especially riding through traffic, such a rush! I liked to go offroad also but went for a long period without any riding up until a few years ago due to a bunch of things, mostly lack of money. Anyways, I got lucky with someone abandoning a 92 Rocky Mountain Team Comp in my building , and although its a bit small I've managed to get the right parts to make it fit and now have sweet street machine.Why street? Because I have only this bike and I live downtown and wanted something fast like a roadie but versatile to go down stairs and the odd trail. I'm very happy with just this and unlike many of you with your stable of bikes, its a no-brainer which one I choose to ride a particular day.
