Long time lurker. Recently retired and since my pension obviates the need to actually make like money and stuff I've decided to start a bike rehab business. I've mostly been doing old mountain bikes but have recently developed an affliction for mixtes. I go bananas for anything Italian. Currently honing my painting skills. Basically the sadder the project the more I like it. Dave's home for wayward bicycles. Wonder if that domain is taken...

Welcome to Bike Forums, Doc! I am gonna bet that your proposed domain name is probably available Good luck on learning to paint bikes; funny, I have done everything else mechanical-wise on all kinds of bikes, but never had the confidence to tackle paint. I look forward to seeing some of your work and hope that your goal of making it pay works out.
