Greetings from Asheville, NC / Greenville, SC
Hello all!
I’ve already been lurking around the C&V forum, but I’ll introduce myself now...out of order.
I live in Greenville, SC and work primarily in Asheville, NC (about an hour north) for a solar company.
I’ve been riding bikes on and off for most of my life, and am recently getting into the repair/restoring side of things. So I’m a noob in that regard, but I’ve been picking up on the mechanics fairly quickly.
I have a love for vintage bikes and enjoy learning the history as much as repairing and riding them.
Cheers!

Welcome. I have an old Volkscycle bike hanging in my barn that I often wonder if it’s worth the effort to make road worthy again. It would mean I would need to learn mechanical bike things, so I just keep thinking about it and riding my other bikes. Enjoy your new hobby, and the forum!

Siu Blue Wind , 07-23-18 01:48 AMYou have beautiful mountain biking opportunities out your way, you are lucky. Welcome to Bike forums!
I know, I have a few friends that hit the trails frequently, I haven’t owned a mountain bike since high school. Probably time to diversify.
