I joined a few years back when I first got back into cycling, but never posted. Recently I moved and lost my neighbour-friend who helped me with all my builds, got some cash from a couple of insurance payouts (cannondale crit & Fuji finest RIP) and have been on the lookout for vintage steel. I revived my account looking for help with my fixed Medici build and gravitated to C&V. Much more interesting than other forums. I found the fixed gear forum to be annoying, they didn't quite understand the concept of buying a bike that you've always wanted - people kept pushing eco-frames, when I was thinking Nagasawa. I've grown quite fond of the C&V crowd and have already made several parts acquisitions and learnt a lot!
