I've been riding bikes for on and off for decades, but lately have really gotten into tinkering with them. I especially like the looks of BMX cruiser/klunker type bikes, but anything that is older (or retro) is appealing.
It started with my Dad giving me his old Columbia mountain bike, which I cleaned up and got running again. Researching vintage MTB's on the web brought me to this site and others where I have seen many cool old bikes and builds! I've been gathering bikes and parts ever since and have several projects underway.
Here's the old bike that got me started into this... a 1984 Columbia Trailmaster all terrain cycle. Made in the USA, lugged frame, bullmoose handlbars, etc. 100% original except the saddle and tires.
