My name is Juan. Long time member and sadly (maybe not) first time poster. I've followed and admired quite a few of the builds that have gone up here and when a recent opportunity came to purchase RyanH's old T1 frameset, i couldn't help but jump on it. I truly like hand me down bicycles. I like knowing that it had a previous owner that took it on adventures. I also like the fact that i am giving something a new lease on life - that and lived in Berkeley for so long that the hippy gene is ingrained in my blood. It's far out man, *old* bicycles have their own aura and energy and stories to tell.
A little about me. I run a Michelin rated restaurant group in Northern California for a living which means that i have very little time to ride let alone train. Im currently a CAT4 with a decent W/Kg despite spending most if not all my time with Chefs and Sommeliers. Cry me a river, i know.
My daily, as the nomenclature goes, is a Cervelo R5 which is a pretty WW bike in and of itself. Living in NorCal presents me with many a mountains to climb and as ive found throughout the years, those tend to be safer than riding around in the streets. Maybe i should start a thread but its really nothing special and to this day is mostly the stock form that it came in.
Onto the current bike. The initial problem i had was that RyanH had done such a good job that i really didn't know what direction i was going to take with this build. We had joked around that i should continue to post under his old thread to keep the #foreverbike thing going. Then i had a brilliant idea with the theme of building a WW.com bike. I started scouring the classifieds for parts to use on this bike.
Figured it would be nice for the nice folk at WW to see their hand me downs put to good use and so long as my "purveyors" agree, i will continue to list the kind individuals who helped with the build.
