Who are you (and what do you look like)?

[juanhenry]

Hi, I am John, from Missouri.
I dont really know where juanhenry came from but it has been around for a long time. I am mid 40's.

I know about Paceline from that one guy from Recovered Saddle and a few others from around the web. I work for KUAT Racks as Logistic Manager.

Cycling has been in my life forever. But I don't race, just ride. I had around 6 bikes in my stable. But am retooling the collection. As it stands now:
Stoemper: Record 10, 3T, San Marco, speedplay, ENVE 25's
BMC: Rival/Red mix, Ritchey, 3T, San Marco, Speedplay, Easton EA90 aero
Kona Unit SS: Loaded Precision, Ethirteen, Prologo, avid Elixir 9, Crank Brothers
Masi SSCX: Deda, San Marco, Avid Shorty Ultimate, WI hubs/cranks, H PLUS SON, Crank Brothers

I have 2 builds in the works, now:
Cinelli Vigorelli (pink & grey) fixed gear.
Cinelli Zydeco CX

It is probably weird. But my favorite bike is the bike I retired this year: Cannondale Croterium Series 3.0. I have ridden that frame for 16 years. We had seen a lot of road and a lot of weather together. It never failed me, light weight, rock solid.

Don't believe I have any great lies to share.
