Hello from the Virginia coal fields

Hello all,I found this site while trying to find information on a recent bike find (CCM,of all things,LOL),and thought it would be neat to join,as it looks like a decent group.

Anyways,Husband to one wife (soon to be ex),Dad to 2 kids,37,disabled vet (though my injuries/disability didn't come from militery service),drove a truck long haul from coast to coast after service (that's where they came from,the truck,and a co-driver who liked to sleep while driving,haha!),and now like I said,I'm "retired" (disabled).

I've been into bikes since a very young age,mountain biking since I was a teen in the 80's,and still do when time and injuries permit. Recently bought my first road bike,since road riding is easier on the spine than trail riding (OK...it's a cyclocrosser....so even my road bike has skinny little knobbies :p),and have recently sparked an interest in vintage bike finding,buying and fixing-up.

I'm super new to that,as well as wrenching on my own bikes,so I have lots to learn. Anyways,I had actually not heard of CCM bikes until I recently found/bought one in a flea market,but am finding they were quite popular and nice bikes...hope I can find more :)

Well,that's me in a nutshell,a complete bike nut :)

Steve
