Hello,

been looking around for a few months love this site and all you people do.
till this summer I was a full time at home dad :D Had to go back to a "real" job after my wife lost
her job :(
this summer found a Schwinn 3 speed on craigslist to ride around with the boys. now I am addicted
cant wait to get started on some cool projects I have in my head. and always looking for that "barn fresh" find.
Hope to have many more posts after this.
Thanks Skp

welcome. can we say a family who rides together just has more fun? nice bikes indeed. laughed my rear off when you said your 7yr old said "put on some whitewalls and be done with it." classic.
