Whats up gang, its nice to be here. My name is Tom and I am 30 years old. I have a long-running, SEVERE addiction to anything with wheels, but especially bikes! Unfortunately, im not super mechanically inclined but i try... I have been lurking here for quite awhile and finally decided to take the plunge and register.
I am married with 3 "kids" (2 cats and a 3 pound chihuahua!) and we also keep african cichlids. We am trying to start/run a freelance graphic design nad photo business as well as work in a factory full time (receiving clerk/forklift driver) and I am trying to go back to college in the fall... in the summer I love riding my mountain bike- Trek 4700 (just for fun, not competitively). I try to ride to work as much as possible when the weather is nice, but i dont like riding a fat-knobby-tired bike on the streets and sidewalks! SO... I have an old cantileved frame i want to build up as a cool commuter/cruiser. (will post pics after i drag it out of the shed) I would eventually really like an older straight bar frame built up board track style... anyway...
I also really really dig old style hot rods and Kustoms (i post on the HAMB as ka-zoo pretty frequently) but i can barely afford to put a bike together, yet alone a car project!
I have lots of questions my biggest one right now is: what would be the easiest, yet CHEAPEST way to get a multi-speed rear on my planned daily?
I look forward to lots of great conversation on here, Ive been folowing many of the RRBBO very eagerly!
