me and my bike addiction
 

i first became a cyclist at age 8, since i am 68 now I have been riding for 60 years. I have been a tourist a commuter a racer (both road and track) I have road bikes and mountain bikes plus a different genre the truppenfahrad (a German Army bicycle) I have several vintage bikes , a Gamble department stores Eagle from the 1930s and a Schwinn Panther from 1951, a western field bike from ???? my guess is 1950s. I am a bike mechanic. I held a state championship in 1980 for veteran men in the time trial for Illinois, I live in Hot Springs Arkansas.

WOW, COOL, and Welcome!
looks like you are well rounded in bicycle choice/design, i would like to hear more about your adventures! i ride with an age 77 male tri-athlete who shares about races at NY, Alaska, and obsticles he has overcome. i am humbled, hope to be able to crank-out 20-30 miles in 2 hrs when i get that young!
check out the classic section here at BF. my humble collection (2) of older bikes falls really short to your listing!
welcome x2!!

Glad to have you aboard, would like to see some pic's of you vintage bikes
