Hello from Appleton WI
Greetings!
I'm a die hard retro-grouch -- my newest bike is over 10 years old. I used to work in the bike industry as a mechanic and as a brazer at Trek in the 80's and still get sticker-shock looking at retail prices on bikes. I'm in no hurry to buy a new bike -- my old ones just don't seem to be wearing out. Here's some pics...

You aren't exactly riding ordinaries. Those look like nice bikes. It's nice to have more neighbors in the forum. What do you do for work now? Do you ride all year?
