Real Name: Jim
Where do I live: Now in Leesburg, VA. Previously in Switzerland. Want to go back. Lost my job there and came here......
Age: 37
Occupation: Airline Pilot
Explanation of handle: Name of the first airliner I flew. Saabs used to make commercial aircraft in addition to cars. The Saab 2000 is NOT a Saab 340 in the same way a Serotta Huffy is not a Murray is NOT a Murray.
Favorite bike: All of them have qualities. My Grandis is high on the list for its good handling.
Fastest speed on a bike: About 40 mph on the flats in some kermesse in Belgium. Was on Eddy Plankaert's wheel at the time. Downhill does not count, but did about 50+ in Switzerland. Raw speed is not what makes a good descender. Handling is it.
What is in my stable: Grandis, Strong, Anvil, Croll (3x), ITCA (obscure Swiss bike), Surly Cross Check.
How many mile last year? No Idea, but I estimate about 5000.
More later..... the battery on this computer will die any minute
