Hello all.
I just recently "surfed" in while doing searches for my rekindled interest in cycling. I'm 53 and a father of two. I have always owned a bike, but haven't been riding as much as I should. That all changed in July 2010 when on a trip to San Diego I got an eye full of Cruisers on the walk at Mission Beach. Two weeks later my wife buys a 1955 Columbia Built at a church auction to use as decoration in her flower garden. I intervened, and had the bike sand blasted and powder coated. Many new parts and a lot less money later, I've got myself quite the conversation piece. My latest project is a tandem. After that, who knows...a customized rat-rod for sure. Maybe a motorized, and a "Rusty Bike" will follow. I drive my wife nuts!
