Introduction

Just wanted to say “Hi” to everyone.  I have been lurking on the formus for a while gathering all the info I can on my bike.  It was a freebie from a family member.  I got the frame, fork, bars, stem, front derailleur and seat.  I promptly went to ebay looking for parts and stumbled upon a full kit.  150 bucks for wheels, tires, crankset, gears, disc brakes, shifters, the whole schebang that someone was upgrading from.  All I had to find was a seat post, pedals, and a rear derailleur.  Not bad, I know.  Here is a pic of the beauty as she is today.
