Hello from Pensacola
Greetings all,
I've been lurking for a few weeks here and thought I would post an intro. I'm a 55 year old male who has been away from bikes for a while, but getting back into riding. I'm in the process of converting my MTB (93 Giant Sedona ATX) to a city bike. Over the years, I've upgraded components - the latest being an Albatross handlebar, a rear rack, and a Brooks Champion Flyer saddle. I;m getting ready to replace the RapidFire shifters with Shimano bar end so that I can fully utilize the bar.
Iv'e found this forum to be a great source of information and look forward to participating in the future.
Regards
Ken

Hi Ken! Are you turning the bike into a commuter, then?

Hi Ken and welcome.
55? Stop by the 50+ forum and say hello to the "old timers".
And while you're at it, stop by the Southeast Regional subforum and say hello to the locals.
