As we say in St. Louis.... What’s up y’all?
Hey just saying hi from STL. I haven’t been riding past few years but suddenly find myself with lots of time on my hands... So I’ve been staying sane by buying vintage road bikes and rebuilding them. Good times. Hope you’re staying occupied and healthy!

Hello and welcome from a fellow St. Louisan and vintage road bike fan. I hang out in the C&V section mostly. Rode my '76 Moto Grand Jubile today!

Nice, clean look. What did that begin life as? Here is my Moto....no, the stem is not too high, it actually is just about at the minimum insertion line. Helps with my old back.

When we lived just west of STL, the question we got asked most = "Where'd you go to high school?" When my wife would answer, "American school, Beirut" - it was always a conversation stopper.
Excellent riding in west County St. Louis.
Very nice bike, BTW. Join us in C&V.
