Hello,
My name is Matt and I am new to your board so I thought to post a proper introduction. I am a fabricator/metalshaper/TIG welder for a living at a high end European restoration shop but also have a business that I run after work called Pipeworx, hence my user name. I recently purchased a bicycle this past weekend at Pate Swap Meet from a gentleman who told me about your website so I thought to check it out as I really love anything vintage, especially bicycles. I like looking at the builds on this site and as much as I enjoy restored bikes I really like seeing custom ones with one off parts. I was told that the bike I purchased was once owned by the owner of this forum but I may not have been given the correct information. I wish I would have gotten the contact information of the person I met at Pate Swap Meet as he had another bike I am interested in. If that person sees this post, or if any of you recognize this bicycle and know the guy, please drop me a line. I will be breaking this bicycle down soon to customize it and make it my own, custom alloy tanks, rechroming, custom brass trim, custom fenders, saddle and grips are all in the plans. If any of you are interested I will post pictures along the way to show my progress.
Matt
