old biker
The opening of the Parklands of Floyd's Fork in Louisville inspired me to get cycling again. I bought a new hybrid bike last year but it wasn't for me so I upgraded to a road bike this year. I've also bought a few vintage road bikes to
upgrade and resell but I'm finding out that I'm not much of a bike mechanic. I have managed to sell off one so far though.

Welcome to the forums!
So many directions you could go with a build especially considering whether you'd go vintage or modern. It'll be a blast no matter which way you go.
Good luck!
