    Hello from Pittsburgh, pa

    Hi Everybody, I'm Brian, an old school bmx guy who now has made the move over to gravel, klunker, and vintage bikes. Just got a hold of my first real vintage bike, a 1972 sears spyder 5 speed. I'm in the process of fixing a few things on it now and I can't wait for the finished product!
