I'm new to this and I am loving looking at all these great picts of cool bikes. I love the look of vintage bikes. Are there any folks living in St. Louis on this forum? I could always use a little up close help on ratting my ride and I'd prefer to avoid my LBS (although some of them are FANTASTIC, others look at you like you have 7 ears and a big horn growing out of your head if you say Rat Rod). Plus I am looking for someone to paint my bike because I am scared to death that if I take it apart I wouldn't be able to put it together again.
