[CR]new member intro...

just a quick one here to announce my presence and all that...

names joel metz, im out here in san francisco - figured it was about time i joined this list... i work as a bike messenger, and spend whats left over on old bike bits and bobs...

currently, the only bikes i have that are applicable to this list are a guerciotti track bike (early 80s) and a fiorelli track bike (early 60s, almost fully "restored" to appropriate components - if any of you bay area people were at the velo sport party, you may have seen it in the back room there) - ive got a brodie road bike which is tigged (and therefore not list worthy :) ) but which has near-full mavic ssc on it, so its kinda halfway on topic....

some of you may have seen my online listing of speciatiles ta components - if not, shameless plug time - http://www.blackbirdsf.org/magpie/ta/ - ive youve got anything to add or correct, id love it! same goes for the fledgling pages ive got for magistroni and umberto dei (same as above url, just replace "ta" with "magistroni" or "dei")

im on ebay now and again selling or buying as magpiesf...

i think that about covers it... anyhow, looking forward to a great resource!

cheers
