I've been a member of bike forum for a while now. I stumbled across it in 2007 when I was pretty heavy. I started in the clydes section. I was riding a giant ocr1 and a panasonic sport 500. I got hit by a car in summer of 2008. Broke my collar bone and totaled the ocr1. So I continued to ride the panasonic until I dropped 55lbs. Once I wasn't a Clyde any longer I decided my old panasonic carried my fat butt this far I'm going to stick with the vintage bikes. I dont like the look of newer frames. I have always dropped in to check out the c&v secton but just recently started posting in it. I picked up an Concorde (not concord and currently on loan to my brother), a 73 Raleigh super course, and a Miyata 1000. I have the bug and I'm hoping to scoop up that miyata pro that i inquired about tomorrow.
