Hello there Rat Rodders, my name is John Hidalgo, a 36 yr old electrician from the bay area. Ive been riding bikes all my life but just recently got back into it after years of driving a gas guzzler. Perhaps my big bike reawakening may be due to the fact that i have kids at an age when they can ride along side pops and appreciate the art of the custom bike. Since then Ive picked up quite a few gems along the way, including my new project, a Ruff Cycles Parucho, which will actually be my first ground up build. Hoping i can get some insight here and hopefully answers to the problems that when they arise wont be problems anymore. Ive seen quite a few good looking bikes on here and glad i finally took the step to join all you bike enthusiasts and artisans. Once i figure how to post pics i will have my build as well as my fleet up for a look see . Happy building
