Cool thread - I'm 52 and have been riding SS for about 6 years when I converted my '74 Moto Grand Record (original owner). Busted that frame beyond repair a couple of years ago so I built up this SS Milwaukee, made at Waterford Cycles in Wisconsin. Still ride a 1x8 Serotta Atlanta from time to time and mix it up on a Santa Cruz Blur as well, but the Milwaukee gets most of my attention. It'll be interesting seeing & hearing about the hardware the 40+r's own and ride. Betcha there's a whole lot more attention paid to form, function and quality. I just told one of my sons he can get me a cog and lockring for Xmas – little nervous about how the knees will hold up riding fixed, but time will tell…
