Hi everyone, Ben from Australia. 40 yo engineer. Long time lurker first time poster.
Used to race in high school abt 1989-1990 on my dad's Puch Laser (high tensile steel with Sachs Huret gears- too poor to afford campagnolo or cinelli). It's still a great smooth ride- long wheelbase. Then no road riding till 2002 when I got hooked via triathlon. Now keen campyophile, (haven't got the tattoo yet). Currently piecing together a Puch Superleicht (I have a thing for Austrian bikes) with 9 speed downtube index shifters, Cinelli bar and stem, Brooks cambium, 9 speed era chorus crankset, wheels undecided. A technical issue is I'm wanting to reply to thread: http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=149104 Re dog ear washers for down tube braze ons but I cannot post, if mods are reading this can they enable account. Thanks |

Hi Ben,
You don't have enough posts to be able to post in the classifieds section. The reason is posted in the "Rules For Posting" in that section. Otherwise, welcome to the forum, join in the conversations and pretty soon you'll have enough posts to participate there as well. William |

*Real Name (first or full - up to you)
Matthew Ecock *Where do you live? Hamilton, Ontario, Canada *Explanation of your forum handle. I watch a lot of anime, and have a small fascination with Japanese history. I chose this word specifically because my initials 'M.A.E.' are the last 3 letters *Age (General or specific). 27 *Occupation. Truck driver for The Beer Store *How did you find the Paceline? I was google searching for a 'Vetta Corsa' bicycle helmet for a 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' costume. Not an easy helmet to locate! *Favorite Bike. My bike *What’s in your stable? Picture attached below. *Fastest speed on your bike? Where? When? Don't even know how to tell how fast I'm going. Maybe between 20 and 30 km/h going downhill on paved road, heading home from a friends house there's a nice stretch of downhill road. *Tell us something fun. I spend a lot of time playing video games, and boardgames. Currently I think I have 50+ different tabletop games in my collection. |

*Real Name (first or full - up to you) – Wayne
*Where do you live? – Central MA *Explanation of your forum handle. – Title character from short-lived television show in the 80s that my brothers decided I reminded them of. *Explanation of your avatar. – Haven't gotten that far yet. Maybe I'll take a promotional photo from the aforementioned TV series. *Age (General or specific). – Old enough to remember my Scoutmaster's Cannondale from the mid-80s. That was such an alien looking bike to me. I guess he did something right since his son briefly rode for US Postal. *Occupation. –·R&D for medical technology. *How did you find the Paceline? – When I acquired a Gios Torino Super Record from 1980 (there's that decade again, I'm sensing a trend), I found some very interesting posts in the Paceline. Then I found out that Peter Chisholm had take up residence here and that sealed the deal. *Favorite Bike. – Such a loaded question. Right now it's my 1999 Trek 2500 because it's been such a reliable workhorse and I love the wheels that I built after taking inspiration from Sheldon Brown's and Peter's posts on rec.bicycles.tech. *What’s in your stable? –·The aforementioned Trek and Gios Torino and a Gary Fisher Joshua that I made more betterer with a proper rear shock and a Fox fork. *Fastest speed on your bike? Where? When? – 53.5 mph barreling down a hill in Vermont earlier this summer. At least that's the fastest I have a record of. *Tell us something fun. –·Regarding that kid that ended up riding for US Postal, when we were working on the cycling merit badge, I definitely beat him in all the unofficial sprints. Might be because he was 11 and I was 14 but I beat him! |

*Real Name ......George C
*Where do you live?........Falmouth/MA Cape Cod *Explanation of your forum handle.........Life tends to humble you, plus I had teenagers once upon a time. *Age..........59 *Occupation............Cardiology *How did you find the Paceline?.............Google *Favorite Bike............. A beater Basso *What’s in your stable?.............A $60 undistinguished Basso. An overpriced Serotta Ti (which is the wrong size and came with an unannounced dent )that I can't bear to take my bath on, and maybe a project 70's Marnati frame I sent a big to check to some sketchy guy in Italy for 2 months ago but have yet to see (hence my forum name). *Fastest speed on your bike? Where? When?...........That would have been in 1972 when I had a full Campy Torpado, big leg muscles, no sense, and used to draft trucks on Clement silks. *How many miles did you ride last year?........None. Just picked up the sport again after a 40 year hiatus. *Picture of yourself, your ride, or both together.......I'm ugly and don't take pictures of myself except to record a catch. *Make up an answer to at least one additional question............I like to fish and I build plugs. *What is the biggest lie you ever told? ........Yikes, I'm a fisherman, I lie all the time. *Tell us something fun.......... In front of my young sons and 500 parishioners I once revived a teenage girl who had fainted in a full church. Took care of her then rushed up as the last person to communion. Walked proudly back to my pew past everyone, drove home and decided to brag a bit to my wife, walked in the door, opened my mouth but before I could utter a word she said............."You went to church with your fly down ? ". |
