Hello from the frozen north
Hello,
I'm in Winnipeg Manitoba, now that winter has wrapped her icy claws around us it's time to work on the project bikes! I'm a former long time auto mechanic who just couldn't out the tools away forever... Got seriously into cycling in 2016 when I bought a new road bike to commute on, since then I've become a triathlete and have started restoring old bikes that ive, for the most part, gotten for free on the side of the road. A few nice resto's and a few "ultra low budget" Franken-bikes

Welcome samsquanch357!. Nothing like salvaging old bikes to get those wrenches turning once again. I got the itch this fall myself.
