BlankCrows has become a great friend and is always scouting out parts in his neck o' the woods for me, and East Hill did me a solid way back when my daughter was getting started on road bikes. King of Kadence and Pastorbob have both helped me out when I was in need of Schwinn parts, and who was it that sent me that free gray Schwinn frame-set for my daughter's first bike build a couple of years ago - JunkYardBike.

Mhendricks and Bikingshearer have not only been generous with time and expertise, but have also turned into good friends and regular riding buddies. Not only has OldFatGuy found me all kinds of swag, given me all kinds of advice, and enabled me when I showed weakness (), he also became a good friend and opened up his home to me for a long weekend and road race in Arizona, found me a top-tier road bike to ride, and even cooked my breakfast on race day.

Bigwoo and others have been great trading partners, USAZorro has been more than helpful on many projects and nlerner gave me a lot of great advice on fixie building/conversions

I know I've left a few deserving folks out, but yeah - his forum is a pretty good place.........
