Hi from Downstate Illinois
 

Hey y'all,

Been lurking from the google results for some time now, finally getting in on the conversation. I'm a bike co-op person, most of my riding is commuting and country roads. In keeping with the co-op mission, most of my builds are modernizing older frames with creature comforts like more standard wheel sizes, fork swaps, better gearing. Lots of frankenbikes with some nicer stuff sprinkled in there sometimes.

Cheers.

Rene Wurst,
Welcome to Bike forums, as a bike co-op person you know how important it is to give back to the community.......many thanks for all of your efforts.
Bike forums has a many folks that share your ideal and I am certain that you will fit right into the conversations here.
All the best, ben

Sounds like you will fit in to the C&V forum just fine, Rene. There are a few of us who like to make "hot rods" of the older frames and it is always a pleasure to welcome a like-minded cyclist aboard.

You said you were from down state Illinois and you are a bike co-op person. I am from far west Kentucky less than 30 minutes from Metropolis. Where is your co-op? I have a number of bikes that I would love to go to someone who could use them as parts bikes or candidates for rebuilding. Please PM me.

Lots of folks here who embrace the philosophy of 'Keep them on the Road'.

Welcome. :thumb:
