Hi Everyone- I'm Chris and just joined this really cool looking community! My life has revolved around bicycles and mostly- motorcycles- but in the last year I've had a big spark towards bicycling.
As a kid- I jumped my Huffy Thunder Road over ramps, sandboxes, neighborhood kids and even some flames (if there weren't any parents around).
I rode an '83 GT Expert in the 80's BMX hey-day (still have the frame and most of it I think)
I rode a beach cruiser at the beach in Ocean City MD in the summer of '87 (still have it too)
I had a Diamond Back Ascent in the early 90's mountain bike craze. (also still have it)
Then-- I seemed to have dropped out of bicycles- other then always having a cheap one I could ride on hike & bike trails with wife and the kids.
I started hiking when COVID closed my gym- and saw modern mountain bikes... Wow!! How things had changed!
After waiting my turn for nearly 6 months- I finally got a new Trek mountain bike and since then- the bug has hit me. I also got my wife and I Trek hybrids for longer adventures and rides. I am now even eyeing up road bikes.
I came across this sight as I love checking out bikes of all kinds- vintage, customs, restos, etc, etc... There are some really cool looking bikes and projects on here from everyone!
I'm hoping to resurrect my GT and my beach cruiser and maybe even get into some other bicycle projects with the insiration from you folks... Thanks for having me here and I'm excited to be a part of this group now... Thanks again! Chris
