hello folks i need help

hi folks,
well, i came here to find parts to outfit my old specialized allez epic carbon fiber road bike, and also a hybrid that will need to be upgraded too.

ok, so here's the funny part with this intro. I can't ride a bike right now. i need a hip replacement.
Yet, i saw no reason not to look for the equipment now because it might not be available once i get the operation and can ride again.

i miss riding so much it's not funny, and my health misses it even more. lol

50 + now and i'm not going to give up on my quest to ride again.
