Look Ma, No Hands!
So I'm new to The Cabe, use to be in the balloon bike hobby some 25+ years ago then got hooked on mountain biking that led to collecting and riding vintage mountain bikes. I'm into NorCal builders from the 80's. Anyone here from the San Francisco Bay Area that collect or ride vintage mountain bikes?
 
Welcome to the cabe im not into mountain bikes old or new but there is a place here in fairfax ca that will open soon called the mountain bike museum its located in beautiful downtown fairfax calif they have a ton of vintage mountain bikes that were built by the pioneers of mountain they may have a web site ill keep you posted on the grand opening one source i no of is fat tire trader he knows his stuff all the best rudy contratti fairfax calif
 
Like Rudy said...Fairfax is where mountain biking began. There's still a hard core of riders here, many of the pioneers can be seen daily around town. Chris "fat tire trader" https://twitter.com/fattiretrader?original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fattiretrading.com%2F&profile_id=2324337505&query=null&related=null&tw_i=556309993620647938&tw_p=embeddedtimeline&tw_w=522088051153973248 was involved with the REPACK originators, he's an avid collector and a CABE member. Jer "low-key motors" is the original klunker junky, http://lowkeymotors.com he rebuilds pre-& post war bikes for hard riding.

Hey guy's I'm in Fairfax a lot actually, I like riding Tamarancho. Yes I know most of the players in the vintage mountain bike hobby as well as the pioneers. I'm going to be a docent at the museum, hope I see you in there. If you both live there I'll bring my cruiser, and will go for a spin. Either one of you going to the Turlock Swap Meet this weekend?
BTW, for some reason I don't get emails when people respond to a Thread, is there somethings in settings or profile I need to check?

Thanks, Shawn
 
Ha!

Welcome to the Cabe 76!

Take pictures next time you get in the museum! Tom's bike. :)
