bicycle repairman wanna-be

Hi . I worked for a while in a shop ,bought a bike which got stolen,my first bike as a kid had no brakes which I found out on my own.So life is a learning experience.I'm learning about collector bikes as is everyone else,craigslist is fun.I kinda don't ride much ,only little trips to the park but years ago I spent much of my time riding with an old friend,God rest his soul.At a garage sale,I found a varsity which had his folks' shop sticker on it.Very very nice,bikes rough but sentimental value is priceless.I may put pics on this site when I figure it out. good luck to all.
