Hello! I'm an ex-road racer / XC MTBer, getting back into riding after about 6 years off. Fortunately didn't quite sell off all my kit, so I'm rebuilding my Giant TCR and Cannondale F1000SL... and hoping to bring a CAAD3 Headshok frameset back from the dead and maybe renovate something extravagant and Italian for summer tarmac duties.
I'm also an aircraft Non-Destructive Testing Technician, so I can find out if things have faults, even if they can't be seen.
