Hey guys, new to the forum, just found it today. Here is my back story. Fat kid parents didn’t really care about my desires. Decided to take up MTB in 1995 and did as well as a fat 7th grader would be expected to do on a Trek with NO suspension. Thought I was a pro, bought all of the mags and watched Pacific Blue every Saturday (hind sight I should have been riding my bike). Well that phase came and went and I dabbled with MTB in college a bit after I lost a bunch of weight (amazing how much easier it is when you are light). Fast forward to present time, I have been a competitive cyclist for a few years now, won some cool races, got to race with some of the best on the road and dirt. So, at 32, a real career, child, awesome “race wife”, I come to the realization that my racing “career” will be coming to an end soon. Taking where I came from (overweight 7th grader) to what I perceive as a fairly accomplished cyclist, I want to book end things. My starting point was the fantasy of owning a 1996 Schwinn Homegrown hard tail in red, the fantasy it is what hauled my fat ass up the hills without walking too much. I want my end point to be actually buying one. I am looking for something clean, by god if I could find one in the box still I would buy it!! I also want to ride it (how much fun is it to just let it sit), so I will need a 17-19 inch frame, 18 would be best. I waited nearly 20 years, in an out of the sport to live a dream of lining up with pros, so I can wait as long to own my first dream bike. If you have any leads on what I am after or own one email me at bgoetz245@yahoo.com. I will update this post when I found my dream, so if this post has not been updated in 20 years I am still looking and if you have one email me!!
