Hi all 
I'm a mtn biker first and foremost,but love anything bike related. I've admired Ratrod and Cruiser bikes in pics and blogs for a while,and since I just found this site,I had to join! I've never built/owned a ratrod type bike,but my interest is definitely piqued,and I have a few older bikes laying around (not fat tired,sadly,but older none-the-less) that are in desperate need of refurbishing anyways,so I hope to learn from all of you,and get started building my first this year. Hopefully,I can help someone else along the way.
I'm 35,married to a wonderful wife and have 2 beautiful (and beautifully rotten ) kids. Recently was pushed out of my career by my Doc and D.O.T. due to an old spinal injury,so I've been settling into the role of Mr. Mom for a few months. Money's tight,but I gots plenty of time (Hmmm...I used to have decent income,and no time...funny how that works,huh?),at least till the wife finishes college,so I'm definately into learning to DIY it on a budget,so after reading Ratrod's intro of the site,this should be kool for me!
Despite the medical thing,I love to ride (like I said,my passion is sweet singletrack),and I think I already have more trail miles in this year than all of last year :roll: ,so I'm digging this "forced retirement" thing. Anyways,that's me,see ya around here
