Since I've come out of lurking with my Encino post I thought I would re-
introduce myself around here.

name's pablo. Architect in the los angeles area. cat3 road/cat4track
racer (until the children came, now I can barely get out)...
been riding (training) on an old '84 bianchi slx frame converted to
fixed gear (just welded on track dropouts) for 8 or more years and its
my favorite bike to ride. Bike's got brakes though since I used to ride
lots of hills on it. I just decided to upgrade and bought a replacement
frame/fork-an old 1962 Ephgrave No. 1. I couldnt resist the lugwork...

cheers.
