My new wheels (well, sorta)

Since I don’t have a fossil-fueled vehicle anymore (I’m in the process of selling my truck back home, so if you’re interested…) I thought it would be a good idea to start biking everywhere.  During our stay in Oceanside the past few months I was able to walk wherever I needed, but since we moved to Vista everything is a bit further away.  My brother has been toting around this steel Serotta frame for a while, not sure exactly what to do with it, so I asked him if we could build it up.  I’d rather not move anywhere in the near future that requires me to own an automobile, so putting some work into a bike that I can take with me wherever I go seems like a decent idea.  Don’t know much about bikes… guess it will be a good learning experience.  Supposedly steel frames are rare and characteristic of classic bike frames.  Aren’t I cool? ;-)

Don’t know if any of you are into the bike scene, but it’d be cool to have some input as I build her up.  I need a project right now.

  1. I’ve got a steel frame too! It’s my dad’s old bike from 1975. Rides like a dream, well kind of. My only advice is to be careful because you can spend a lot of money on bike parts if you want the Tour de France stuff.
