Hello from Matt - Milwaukee Wisconsin via Denver Colorado

Hi guys and gals,

I am a longtime listener, first time caller to this site.
I have been collecting and fixing up bikes for the last 10 years or so.
I really like this community, as there is no real trash talking everyone is very cool, unlike every other board including fly fishing and bluegrass boards. I like to collect anything bike related that I think is cool, and to me, vintage ballooner and single speed bikes are very cool. I also like the people who ride them.

I met a very cool member at the Iola Wisconsin car show over the weekend.
I never did find the other bike swap tent, since there were over 4500 registered swap tents
I just ordered five stickers for my bikes, so I will have to figure out how to post pics.

Peace,
Matt in Milwaukee

Welcome! They trash talk each other on a fly fishing forum??! :shock: :lol:

 

[MilwaukeeMatt]

yeah, the fly fishing sites are brutal - especially moldychum.com and http://www.drakemag.com

I like this site a lot - I feel very welcome.

Roll on brother.

I just went to the Budget Bike Center in Madison WI - they are the largest used bike store.
Absolutely incredible collection of pre-war and post war cruisers, ballooners, and gas tankers - many well over $1000.

welcome to the board

Hey gang,
for those of you who live in Wisconsin,
I have a 2000's era Dyno Chopper for sale.
The bicycle has apehanger bars, double tree chrome fork, disc brakes, 3 speed nexus hubs, and a 3 inch rear tire. Very sweet ride, would make a great build, but it is already a head turner. I am asking $240.

I also have a 1960's era Westpoint Chrome single speed cruiser. The bike is in great shape, rides true, and the chrome looks great.
I am asking $150.
