Just joined the forum after checking it out for a few weeks, seems very cool. My names Mike Gilbert, most everyone calls me Gil, Im from Pleasant Hill, Iowa (suburb of des moines), married no kids. I drive a pallet jack for a living. I do a lot of biking, but love cars. That combination kind of sparked my intrest in old bikes. My bike is a late 40's early 50's cleveland welding frame, with various schwinn parts, its kind of a mixed bag of parts, but a blast to ride. Great to be here 8)
