Retro Newbie
Hi all, thought i would just say hello and put a couple pics of my bikes online for anyone who may be interested. One is a Cannondale Killer V 500, which originally, was my first bike when returing to cycling as a fitness means way back in 1998. The other is a De Mayo Firenza frame that i bought on ebay earlier this year, which i believe originates from the same era. Even though quite simplistic compared to todays offerings. Both still provide me with many hours of fun on the trails, and i think look refreshingly different too. I know they not true retro to the nth degree, none the less, i still hope you enjoy!

Interesting bikes, I quite like that Cannondale frame - on the recent Forest of Dean retro ride I don't think there was a single Cannondale out of 44 bikes.
I'm only about 7 miles from you - you'll have to come to the next SW meet.
 
Hi Feetabix, thanks for the welcome. Thats a nice array of bikes you have there. Why is it when you get the biking bug one is just never enough. :)
Hi Jimbo- xc. Am quite pleased the way the Cannondale polished up in the end. Im sure the more experienced members among you could give me a few pointers on how to improve on it even more. Would be nice to join you on the next meet and get a chance to see the other bikes too. Just let me know when and where
