Welcome to the Ebykr community!

This forum was created to bridge the gap between historical research and the active preservation of vintage lightweight bicycles. Whether you are a long-time collector, a frame builder, or a newcomer finishing your first restoration, we are glad you’re here.

To get started, please reply to this thread or start your own and tell us:

• How you first got into vintage lightweight cycling.
  I bought a used Masi road bike in college after racing BMX as a kid and never looked back.

• Your specific areas of interest (e.g., French constructeurs, 70s Italian racing, etc.).
  Mine now include lesser known French constructeurs and porteur-style bikes.

• A photo of your "primary" or favorite vintage bicycle.
  One of my very favorite randonneuse bikes has been attached here.

Thanks a lot for being here. I really look forward to seeing your machines and hearing your stories...
