hi,
i'm will and i live in london, england.
i really got into cycling about 5 years ago-
i went on a 3 month exchange trip to NW spain- a friend and i got drunk and made an agreement to buy bikes and ride through portugal. we got a couple of basic, steel-frame road bikes from the local pawn brokers and set off on a three week, 1000 mile adventure through some accidentally quite mountainous but magnificent country.
these days 90% of the riding i do is commuting- a 20 mile round trip across the middle of london which i have a sort of love/hate relationship with. i have a bike that is perfect for the purpose. a 1970s reynolds 531db framed woodrup with a real mish-mash of components. it rides like a dream and looks like cr*p so it doesn't get stolen.
i have been very slowly building up my dream bike for the weekends over the past year (as quickly as i could afford). it is 99% complete and i'll be sure to post a picture when its done. i'm off to scotland to give it it's inaugural thrashing next week.
a thread from this site came up in a search and the members that had posted seemed to be really freindly and helpful so here i am.
