1951 home made biped, called Robert showing signs of age. 2 speed (dead slow and stop) not so much flip flop as just plain floppy. Retired from a life time of working on/riding/building/selling bikes. Recently upgraded with an I.C.D.
Had own bike shop for 15 years till I realized that it won't be long before a bike needs plugged into a computer for a diagnostic faultfind
Been lingering and like the atmosphere on this site friendly helpful and inclusive so took the plunge and enlisted! So hello everyone
