it's been some time since i've been on the RR forums...just wanted to say hello to all the new members and the members that have been around for a bit!
I am Andy in RL; i own a bike shop in NE Minneapolis that does ok (older "cruiser-style" bikes and tune-ups); i like bikes (really?!?), camping, canoeing and hiking; I really like geocaching; and i am a fan of flat-track roller derby!
I like rebuilding older hubs (and have the "break-down" of many) and building wheels with the older hubs (doin' up older 3-speeds with coaster brakes is what i spent my winter doing! coaster brakes ARE the new black!)...
i hope to spend a bit more time on the site that i have in the recent past...but not so much that it takes away from building bikes :mrgreen:
take care!
