Hey everyone, I’m a longtime cyclist with a deep appreciation for vintage and neo-retro bikes — especially the steel masterpieces from the ’80s and ’90s. I’ve always been drawn to the craftsmanship, geometry, and ride quality of classics like the Bridgestone RB series, Trek Multitracks, Miyata tourers, and similar builds that blend performance with timeless design. I enjoy restoring, refining, and occasionally modernizing these frames while keeping their original character intact. Cycling for me is part art, part engineering, and part meditation — a way to connect with history while building something uniquely my own. Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing some of my own builds and experiments along the way.

Former Cat 2 racer from DC area looking to get back into logging some miles with the passion and adventure that got me into bikes the first place. Steel bikes….. more to come.
