Hi everyone! I've been reading threads on here for quite a while now but I've finally decided to register (:

I just graduated from high school and I love running/biking. I currently have a Nishiki Sebring (selling) and Bianchi Trofeo with Shimano 600 components (still upgrading). I used to have a GMC Denali road bike which I actually didn't have much of a problem. However, I sold it to a friend after picking up a beautiful Empella Bonfire with Ultegra components at a swap meet. Kinda wish I kept the Empella... oh well.

I probably shouldn't be looking at buying any new parts seeing as I'm going to be a college student now. Whatever, I have a job and no loans to worry about That being said, I'm currently considering whether or not it's worth moving from Mavic MA-40s laced to Shimano 600 Tricolor hubs (HG cassette) to Forte Titans/Apollos (I'll probably ask about this on the appropriate forum later)

I haven't been in many group rides; it's mostly been commuting to and from school. Raced once in a race for ages 15-18 without any actual training and placed 6th out of 9 lol. And I haven't exercised in a month because I had an episode of whoknowswhatyet after a 1600m track race. Oh well, I'm getting back on it!

Anyway yeah, hello everyone! Anyone else from socal?
