Hello all, my name is Rob. Pleased to be here.
I hail from southeast Texas, where our biggest hills are overpasses and a 70 mile ride nets less than a grand in elevation. Due to the lack of rock in our soil, and my background in bayou biking (mountain what?), I became well accustomed to a plethora of trail roots as a youth. Had the handle since the mid aughts on MTBR and the like; the alley of Live Oaks speak to the trees here and my profession (see below). I’m a millennial who practices landscape architecture (architect by training). The pride and joy of the collection is a Waterford Paramount the factory refurbished for me a few years ago. My CAAD5 has by far seen the most miles amongst the stable. Have a number of Paramounts, a few Merckxs, and now a Sachs! Fell in love with the ultimate generation of lugged steel as a teenager. Got up to 56 mph if I recall out in the Hill Country near Utopia, TX during a training camp in college (Hook’em!) Getting back into riding after a long hiatus. In PT for lingering skiing injuries, but making good progress! Pics to come! Can’t wait to share the fleet. I’m continually inspired by the functional beauty of bicycles. Integrity is a core value, but may have impersonated the son of a local real estate mogul to get into a bar in Austin back in the day. Other hobbies include HiFi, photography, and collecting vintage Hawaiian shirts. Suppose I’d be into cars if I didn’t spend so much on road bikes! Internet forums are cool - remember being in awe as a kid of the wealth of knowledge from other people on the internet. My interests seem to align with some of those on this forum!

jacob here. got into road cycling when i lived in the desert and it was too hot to ride my mountain bike during the summer. now i mostly race desert/enduro dirt bikes, but still use cycling for cross training and when it is too hot to moto.
I am coming back from a non-bike related injury and expect i'll ride more road this summer than in the previous couple of years. looking to purchase a gravel bike so I can stay away from the cagers, but i've round road bikes work just fine on dirt. currently on an old cannondale.
