How's it going guys and gals.
I've already been posting here for a few weeks now but never really posted an intro. So anyway, here it is...
I found you guys while I was doing a Build Off project called Velo Cheapo for Bikeforums.net. The Build Off rules were to build a bike with a max budget of $149.99. So naturally, while looking for some inspiration, Google has brought me here. And I haven't left yet.
I guess I am primarily a road biker in the summer time (20 miles on Saturdays and 40 miles on Sundays) and a builder during the off season. So far I have built up four bikes and I am in the works on a fifth.
Here are some of my bikes. I have sold the Litespeed and have never looked back. This is one roadie who is sick and tired of $100.00 bottle cages and $1,000 wheels!
