Welcome

Thanks! Tell me about it - 5 years, several bikes and never ONE problem. I leave my flat for 3 hours and return home at 5am and the thing was gone. At first I thought my buddies threw it on the roof again since we were smash-faced for my going away party. I checked craigslist for a few months, but I assume it was a bum or crackie looking for some cash. Lamesauce.

Lamesauce indeed
This forum, if you look past their silliness, they will help you out in what you need! I joined about almost a month ago looking for a bike, and a month later i still get PM's about bikes being on sale for my height and size.

Good luck in your build, perhaps move from paris to London too ;) (I dont like paris, have family there)
