Hi - thought I'd add this forum to my short list of favorite haunts.

I live outside ABQ in a little village that used to be populated by hippies and Hispanic farmers. Now it's full of Tuscan starter castles. But the riding is good because the weather is great.

Not much of a weight weenie per se - I've added a few things to the lists over the years and I did try and shave one of mine down below 16 lbs. just for grins. I simply enjoy building bikes and riding them, which is why the inventory is in the 20+ range these days. So I won't bother posting a long litany of parts and frames.

Forumite Alienator is my best friend on the web, so he can vouch for me and my conservative yet enlightened views when it comes to things that move under human power.

I don't really like retro, I prefer racy and cocktail party bikes crack me up.

So that's it. I may never post again, but at least I took the time to introduce myself before heading out to clean horse pens.

Morning - welcome to the board

What bike do you actually ride?

I ride them all, equally. Everybody gets 200-400 miles depending on how the year is going.

ooops, oh yeah, forgot about the 20+ rides when I typed that. Thats good to hear

Can we get some more details on them, especially a review on your 953 steed?
