ok I guess I should jump in. My birthday is 7/21/49, so I will be 62 in a few days and I still play with bikes. Like XC204 I was treated for prostate cancer, had it removed at the end of Dec. , with robotic surgery. It slowed down my bike riding for a while but I'am back in the saddle again. :shock: All you young pups should take a listen to us old dogs. 8) Rember, you don't quit playing because you got old, you got old because you quit playing (riding, building bikes)

I didn't reply to the thread at first because I thought I was not in the running, but at 72 ( I was born in 1938) I may throw my hat in the ring. I still enjoy my bikes as much as I used to, but I have noticed my rides are shorter than they used to be. Still having too much fun in retirement.

I've been curious about this for a while. I'm a young at heart 66 and a bit Grumpy at times. Bikes, family and gardens help keep me going. Think I saw a 72 listed so I'm a youngster I guess.

I'm 40, with NO builds under my belt. So that's got to count for something, right?
(I was a mountain bike mechanic before joining the Navy, so do all those builds count for anything?)

just turned 56 last monday. Im not old, Im RETRO.....
3/16/57 built my first bike in 2nd grade and it got stolen that same summer. Old western flyer flat black frame, high rise bars and a white polo solo seat, first stingray style bike on the block. this was from all the cast offs of all the big kids on my block.
I've been collecting parts to build a copy of this bike.

Is being older then dirt, qualify?

I'm 52, and enjoying my f/s bikes. I usually ride a min. of 5 miles everyday.
