Hello from Leigh

[joshuabalmer]

Hi everyone

I'm by no means new to cycling. I've had bikes from a very young age and I still ride downhill regularly. I've been going out on the roads with my owd mon recently, but I've been using a modern hardtail. I'm looking to pick up an old road bike as a project so that I can keep up with my dad. If any of you can provide any advice on particular bikes I can look out for or if you have any for sale then let me know. As I say I'm looking for a more vintage bike that won't be hard on my bank balance. I'm from Leigh in Lancashire

Thanks

Josh

You've already been introduced to our resident keeper of all things retro in @biggs682, so it's just a simple hello and welcome from me from over the hill in Bolton

Hi everyone, thanks for your quick responses!

Hi Biggs, I'm 5'11, inseam 31 1/2 so I think that puts me around 54-56?

Feel free to correct that if I'm wrong, complete novice when it comes to this.

Cheers

Josh

Maybe I've missed the answer to this somewhere, but how long do I have to wait/posts do I have to make before I can post in the classifieds section?
