I started with a Sears paperboy bike with ginormous baskets, picked up a Sears Sting Ray knock off which I converted to a BMX before BMXer were around (72).

I later picked up a Schwinn 10 speed rode that everywhere.

Skipped biking for about 20 years until I had kids and rode a bunch of 20 inchers with them.

Skip forward to 2011 and I came to Cambodia and needed to get places cheaply started with a cheap Japanese step thru, broke that and got a cheap hybrid.
They helped me lose 60 lbs. Coming back to the States I put up a request for a 10 speed to ride and a friend gave me a nice '74 Raleigh Gran Prix. Somewhere in there I found bike forums. This led to another Gran Prix and others.

Hearing about Super courses I ended up with 3 and after seeing gugie's centurion Pro-tour and some of his other work, I had to have one. Now I have 2. When I get to the States in April I will thin the herd a bit. \
Keeping a nice 73 Super Course to be built up with a with a beautiful Shimano arabesque group, that original Gran Prix as either a single or dingle speed. One of the other Super courses as a briftered Shimano 5500 3x9.
The 2nd all chrome Pro-tour will end up with 10 speed 105. And last a Specialized Cruz as a grocery getter with 9 speed XT.
