Hi everyone!

My name's Eric and here's a bit more about me:

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.

Best regards from San Francisco!

Happy tailwinds,
Ebykr
