It’s beginning to sound like a Cialis commercial in here, not that there’s anything wrong with it.

In ‘87 I turned 18, 2 days later I graduated from high school, 2 days after that I was in Parris Island SC MCRD. I didnt ride a bike again until ‘94. A 7 year hiatus, but oh that glorious feeling when I finally did ride again, that was the year I rode and bought my first Mt Bike, a department store Road Master, rigid frame, cantilever brakes, all components were of course of the lowest quality which I replaced as they broke, it was an enlightening experience, the final straw on that bike was when the bottom bracket which wasnt a bottom beacket just disintegrated. It was a loose bearing race built into the frame.Sounds like we’re all close in age. Graduated in 87. I put 40+ miles 5 days a week on my bikes(suspended DL) and 25+ off road on days off work. Not to mention some off-road rides on work days. Really missed it over the years but now, 20 years since I’ve owned a bike, I’m seriously considering an Ebike. Still have one child left to send off and then it’s back to doing for me
It's for a limp dick. Something you will get later in life.What’s cialis?

I also bought a Bianchi road bike later that year and used it to commute to and from work, 16 miles each way.
This thread has brought back some wonderful memories that I havent thought about in so long.
You guys know a lot about bikes. I still rock a 2009 Kona five-O. I really like my konaWow, now I'm starting to feel old. My first mountain bike was a 1984 Panasonic "All Terrain Bike".
After having full rigid bikes, I bit the bullet in 1994 and got a Ted Wojcik Soft-Trac Dual Suspension. A bad wreck in 2017 broke the frame, but Ted said he'd fix it for me. That bike still hangs on the wall in my shed. Now I ride a 2017 Stumpy FSR Comp 6 Fattie and a 2021 Kona Woo.
