Hello from Florida!
Been riding for quite a while, but just decided to get involved with this forum since I just put together my first "project". My friends call it my Frankenbike, which is appropriate. Part road bike, part mountain bike, part fitness bike. As soon as I get my first 10 posts in I'll upload some pics. Until then, hello!! Did 20 miles this morning. Retired, just turned 69.

Welcome. If you are comfortable sharing that you are from Florida, consider adding this to your info where is says "location" so other can see it. This makes a big difference because Florida has fewer mountains than other places and this affects the gearing of the bikes.

I growd up in South Florida, does that count?
