Greetings to all , I signed on to the list this week and did not introduce my self , my name is Jim McCoin , I started riding in 1960 and racing in 1961 , Iv quit cycling a couple of times but have always returned , I feel about cycling the way Kevin Kostner did about baseball in "field of dreams" . Im sure all of you have been in the right gear , in the right cadence on a smooth road with a nice tail wind , I guess its Zen state . Iv been lucky and have ridden some and owned some real vintage bikes , a Urago and a Cavallari from the '40s , Cinellis , Bianchis and Masis through the ' 60s ' 70s and the ' 80s . Hanging in the garage are a 1966 Cinelli , 1974 Jack Taylor touring bike with Taylor racks , 1975 Masi Gran Criteriam , 1995 Bob Jackson Super tourist , 1993 bob Jackson track bike ,1996 Hetchins , 2000 XL Boron Bianchi and a broken torelli Masi frame . On my need next list a mid ' 60s Bianchi specialisima . Jim McCoin
