Hello hello to bike forums folk. I am a married 26 year old who loves music and fitness. My grandfather collected bikes and I started riding with him at a very young age. Some of my favorite memories are of misty morning rides with him down the strand in Hermosa/ Redondo beach. I decided to join the site for some advice about buying a decent bike to play and keep myself in shape on. I have bought three junky mtb's and have seen the light. No more. I had a custom schwinn (road bike) that my grandfather passed on to me that has been most heinously stolen (if you have it you better hope I don't see you on it). I'm leaning toward a Trek 4300 which I will hopefully have the cash to buy at the end of the month. I'm very interested in the idea of trying out a triathlon. So there. Thats me. If you wanna know more you gotta ask.
