Hello!

*Real name: Sam
*age: 29
*Where do you live: Bay Area / San Diego
*Occupation: Government Analyst
*Favorite bike: 1991 red Bridgestone RB-1 that I regret selling!
*My stable: 2013 All-City Thunderdome fixed gear, 1986 Bridgestone T700 commuter
*Fastest speed on road bike: 30+ mph?
*Miles on the bike last year : Was probably riding 5-10 miles everyday for general getting-around town
*Makeup and answer a question: What’s your relationship with bikes? I fell in love with riding and fixing up vintage bikes after living in Oakland/Berkeley without a car. I've played the Craigslist roulette game of moving through different bikes in search of the one bike to keep, but of course the search never ends! I think I'm now ready to move on from 70-80s Japanese steel bikes and my current fixed gear towards a more handmade/performance-oriented road bike. Have my eyes out for lightweight steel from builders like Davidson or Independent Fabrication.
*Biggest lie - I don't have a bike problem.
*How did I find Paceline Forum? : Searching Google for bike tips

Welcome Pietro, I hope your stay is a pleasant one.

Nice herd of bikes you have, I really like to see the De Rosa Primato, that sounds like a fantastic vintage bike.

Can't believe this is my first post

Hi,

I didn't realize how inactive I am on Paceline forums. Sure it's been a while since I visited but zero posts? Wow!

I came looking for a frameset, metal, road, disc, 56, Di2. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't reply to a post in the Classifieds.

Here we go:
*Real name: Tim
*age: 54
*Where do you live: Alameda, CA
*Occupation: Computer sales (Lenovo)
*Favorite bike: 2003 Taylor custom
*My stable: Lynskey GR270, Scott Addict SE (looking to replace frameset with metal)
*Fastest speed on road bike: 51 mph
*Miles on the bike last year : 5100
*Biggest lie - I traded for this groupset
*How did I find Paceline Forum? : web, other forums

Anyway here's my road bike and me at Levi's Gran Fondo a couple of years ago, before Covid
