Welcome, [MENTION=491269]galapogosian[/MENTION]!
You'll have questions... We'll have answers. And bad jokes. Probably pictures too, since we're all looking for excuses to post more pics of our bikes anyway. But yeah. Ask away, and welcome to a cool new world... not so long ago I was exactly where you are. I'm kind of jealous actually.
