There are somne pretty dedicated riders out here in the burg (I just moved here)! I met a bunch of riders at the local climbing gym (or lcg) and their enthusiasm for old bikes is quite infectious! Currently building up an old SR for my girlfriend, and then it is time for me to build my own sweet steed.
Cheers,
Nate

I used to live in Dormont.
Man, that's tough cycling! All steep hills & lots of traffic.
Biking Confluence/Ohiopyle & Lake Morraine was real nice though.
Good luck, see you out there sometime...

Yes, we do have some challenging hills, but that's what makes biking fun. Then when you go on cycle events in other places and scoot up the hills, people always want to know what kind of bike you have that takes the hills so easily!
Lance practiced here. He won the Thrift Drug Classic 3 times.
