These last couple of threads have gotten has gotten the voice of my mom singing, "Getting to know you, getting to know all about you. . . " I am actually enjoying these threads quite a bit and it's getting a lot of lurkers out of the wood work. Anyway, let's see my training wheels came off when I was four ('74) but I didn't graduate to a "10-speed" until '77 when my dad got me somethig from the yearly impounded bikes sale so we could do weekend tours. My first "real" lightweight was an '85 Bianchi Brava, actually it was my brothers but he ended up giving it to me in the end. I don't remember the 70's bike boom that much but I still have a few of copies of BICYCLING! from '76-'78 to tell me it must have been a scary time. . . the 70's not the bike boom. I'm all for people riding bikes but platform shoes, bell bottoms, and huge collared shirts open to your navel. What were some of you people thinking?

enjoy, Brandon"young monkey"Ives
