actually, its more humid than sunny....anywhos...
my name is oh chu san, and i recently re kindled my long lost love for bicycles. (due to the current fuel prices)
came across this site when i was doing a search for 3inch wide tires.
been lurking in these forums for the past month or so and only now decided that i would be "safe" to join up as a member.
what i like most about this bike forum is that no one (that i've seen so far) here dictates what someone else's bike should or shouldn't look like. freedom of bicycle expression is always a good thing, acceptance is nice too!
i sure like me, we all would like to be accepted for who we are, what our tastes are and not judged even if it is "off" a little.
and that is the vibe i've pick up here at ratrodbikes! kudos guys and gals!
i've been in "other" bike forums where the peeps were, well, not so nice?....haha ah well...
and the bikes i've seen here so far, are all really REALLY refreshing! all different from the next, many, i mean MANY, i would even consider masterpieces. and the icing on the cake is that you guys are sooo laid back about it! its amazing!
i remember my first "freak" bicycle back when i was in the 4th or 5th grade.
attached a 29" gentleman's bicycle fork to my raleigh chopper and had myself a chopper... literally!
that bike has long since disappeared, can;t even recall what became of that one.
then came ET the movie and as a teen, i just had to have one of them BMXs! those too also have long since rusted away.
that was the last of my bicycle purchases until about 10 years ago, give or take a couple...when i bought a raleigh retroglide.
and my most recent online purchase was a stretch cruiser, (which i'm working on right now) where shipping was almost the same as the cost of the bike! :shock: :roll:
will post pics when i get home.
