Hello All
Hello all....my name is Babber and I'm from Kelowna, BC, Canada. I'm 33 years old and have redisovered biking in the last few years. I ride mainly downhill and x-country but do commute to work and back occassionally on an old Fiori road bike I bought off a friend for a case of beer. I ride a 2005 Norco Shore for my downhill excurions and a 2002 Oryx Equipe 175 for my x-country needs. The reason I joined Bike Forums was to get some info on the different brands of bike tools as I'm starting to do my own maintenance since it costs me on average a hundred bucks every time I go to the shop. Talk to everyone soon.

Hello Babber, you are not the only member from Kelowna! Take a look at the Western Canada regional forum and say hi to the locals. You should glean a lot of information from the Bicycle Mechanics forum, and you might also want to stop by the Classic & Vintage forum with some photos of that Fiori...

. 'Vintage' usually means that the bike has a lugged frame (depending on the model, of course). The rider may or may not be vintage as well...

Thanks for the welcome....I've already had some helpful responses for my bike tool questions. I'm glad I discovered this forum. Hope I can return the favour and help someone else out one day.
