And hope you are all doing well! I am 51 years old. God blessed me to be raised in a family of bicycle mechanics! I have spent the last 25 years in other occupations, but I condider the time in my life of working on bicycles to be among one of the best parts. I really enjoy observing the creative efforts of the other forum members. Most of the projects bring back a lot of memories. Being from a family in the bicycle business, I have never bought a bicycle for my personal use in my life. I always had to pull something out of the junk pile if I wanted to ride. In my younger days, I built some rat rods. Just didn't know to call them that. We called them "racers" or just simply "wheels". I was fortunate enough to save some bike stuff all these years not knowing what I would ever do with it. Rat Rods finally gave me a reason! Thanks very much!
