Yes, I, sir Galahad, am from Michigan. Between Plymouth and Ann Arbor do I reside. I'm not so much a ratter as an appreciator of old, original and ratty (nice original is always nice too).
One of the only decent bike shops I know of is actually right in your area.. it's a lawnmower repair & bicycle shop in Southgate on Northline. The owner is a collector and displays his collection in the shop as well as sells parts and bicycles. Worth checking out sometime even if it's not what you're into. Welcome to the forum!
