Hi, I’m Kaan from Northern VA. I started my cycling journey in my childhood like many others, riding a bianchi in the country I grew up in, no trek/specialized/cannondale there, everythinG we could access was European. Anyway, I switched from motorcycling to cycling after my son’s birth, first with a road bike nothing fancy but did the job, and now recently I have started trail riding in the area I live in. I’m nowadays building my tool set to be able to restore a bike myself hopefully, may end up taking parts to my LBS hope to learn from you all. Cheers.

Welcome!

Thanks Rage!

What a shame that you could only ride European bikes growing up
Just kidding, of course. I guess all bikes are good -- even the American ones.
