Hello from Virginia

[Lowdownminitrucker]

Hey all. I found this site from a friend local to here when I traded him out of a few old bikes. I've been a mtn biker for years,but am new to wrenching and especially old bike building.

Just a middle aged dude (a TRUE middle ager at 37,not a 60 year old who expects to see 120 ) with a soon-to-be-ex-wife,a next wife,two kids of my own,and one coming with the next. We all (except the ex,LOL) dig bikes,and looks like rebuilding bikes could become a family fun thing,which I'm all about.

Like the looks of all the bikes I've seen here,looking forward to learning and sharing,hopefully I can help someone else along the way. OK,that's me in a nutshell,gunna go drool at some more bikes here now

It is; but only if you refer to yourself as such at 37.

Well, if you measure by how fast and far you fall apart instead of in years, 60 is probably a safe "middle". :| Heck, you ain't grown 'til you're 30, and by 90 there's a good chance you'll be "checking out".

. . . 60 is probably a safe "middle".

Thank you Deorman! I still have too many projects to be half-way done already!

This just made my night. I've only been a "grownup" for 10 years!!!!

Which would make 45 middle aged then :lol:
