Title: Hi all.
Post by: Midschoolfool on February 11, 2017, 04:07 PM: Hi all.

My name is Andrew and I reside in West Sussex England. Born and raised in Streatham/Brixton, went off to the USA in 2000 and came back in '08. I now live just outside of Bognor Regis with my wife.

Name denotes my favourite era. Well, not the era, the bikes and parts. I'm no spring chicken @ 43 but I just preferred the bikes of the mid to late 90s. I was a small child, so a BMX was really big on me. When I got older thought I grew upwards and outwards pretty fast, and I am now 5'10. Obviously this makes it far easier for me to throw around a bike, so I had the most fun riding during my 20s.

Complete and total SE nut, but probably my favourite bike ever was my Schwinn Powermatic that I painted metallic bubblegum pink with all gold parts. It kinda looked like the Faris flatland frame.

Any way, am currently waist deep in a project so I will post that now.

Any riders down my way around my age? I am not looking to do anything stupid any more (been there done that) just want to get fit. Currently far too heavy for my frame @ around 17-18 stone thanks to meds I have to take. However, I am sure I could be a lot fitter..

Peace out !

Me.

Oh cool man. Yeah, I am literally on the border. One side of the street is Aldwick the other Bognor. Will be riding the promenade to get fit.

If you ever see a duck egg green PK Ripper with orange tuffs stick the boot in for me, though I have the distinct feeling it is on its way to Poland by now.
