Hello,
I'm Rich,
Came across this forum during general browsing and seems like a nice place to be!
Always been a keen cyclist, have even worked as a mechanic in a bike shop. Not been cycling so much over the last couple of years or so other than the odd weekender and sold off all my other bikes due to new house / children - until recently.... Now have a hefty 30 mile round trip commute daily! So I am properly 'back in the saddle'!!
Have to say that I am loving it and really got the bug again. Something very liberating about leaving the car at home and depending on your bike to get you around. Its made me realize how much I missed it!
Just in the process of building myself up a 'do it all' rigid and sacking off some bits. I have fond memories of riding my old Kona with P2's and now that my daily ride is about 70% road I think I can get away with ditching the suspension and saving myself about 2lbs in the process
Here's my ride such as it is:
For now......
