Hello from Raleigh, NC
Hello! I finally decided to join the forum. What a great resource! I've been riding since the mid 80's, at least thats when I started wrenching on bikes just for fun and to collect a few interesting ones. I commute to work on a bike, ride for fun and for exercise. I've been building and restoring bikes the last few years as a hobby. Its really just an excuse to ride different bikes...
At the moment I ride:
95 Colnago Master Olympic
95 Masi Team 3V
85 Ciocc Mockba '80
97 DeRosa Primato
08 Bianchi Via Nirone 7
85 Bianchi Axis

Welcome aboard!
We've got plenty of forums that you'll likely be poking your head into and saying "hey" in. Commuting, Classic & Vintage, Mechanics, as well as possibly SSFG and even perhaps the Bloggers Forum if you like to read other peoples cycling related journals.

Welcome to the forum from a neighbor to your west. I think we may have met - I bought an old Raleigh Super Course frame from you, right?

Hey, Yep, that's me. Good to hear from you. Did you every build the Raleigh back up? I was just looking at some old pics of it the other day. You inspired me to snare a Colnago after you described your bike when we met. Love the ride, very smooth. Cheers!

Hey, Thanks for the welcome! I've got a running blog (Cicli Meacci) on all my bikes over the years. Plenty of pics (good and bad) on on that site.
