Thank you guys for the warm welcome. This is a cool community. (Surfing community can get a little toxic depending where lol.)
I doubt we are close and I really don't need another bike considering I am putting together what would be my 5th complete bike and I have serious plans for two more bikes.
Some people appreciate bikes to the point of not riding them and just being a collector and some realize they are neat and valuable but first and foremost they are for riding. Keep it in good shape and you will be fine.
This community can be hot or cold in their welcoming. You got lucky and that is always good here. It is the internet and a forum about fixed gear bikes, things are bound to get toxic here too. But don't let that scare you, stick around have some fun, learn some stuff, teach some stuff when ready and we will be a better community for it : )
