Hey regulars of the bicycle sub-form. Long time member/poster, first time here/never really considered this one. I've been riding/racing mountainbikes since 1991. I worked in two different shops as a mechanic throughout the mid-90s while in college/grad school and retained a lot of that knowledge so quite good at troubleshooting/fixing bikes form basic stuff to rebuilding suspension components and building wheels. Went through a heavy dose of mtb racing in the '90s including two tours of the infamous 24 hours of Canaan in WV (the golden age...such great bikes/tech back then...most of which sucked haha), then graduating/work/kids so a bit of a break there during the 2000s, back on the bikes (adding road at this point for fitness) and racing mtbs/gravel and even cyclocross regularly; got started back on a 29er single speed to sort myself out. Did all of best/biggest epic rides and races of my life during that period. COVID caused bike-mania which killed the local trails here so took another break but back on it and have been riding again regularly. Follow me on Strava:
Didn't have any great pics of my current stable but here is what I have, cars in the pics as well because it's BITOG!
Also b/c BITOG, my current lube etc. choice is Squirt, Rock n' Roll Gold or the Extreme for winter, and Phil Woods grease.
