"HI CR people--
My name is Chris Kvale, and having been to the Cirque three times, listening to all the great talk about the CR list, and finally, gotten a computer, I'm finally here, in the ether.
I've been riding seriously since l964, raced a bit, toured some more, and went through a succession of bikes before I finally started building my own in l976. I generally like to keep a low profile (my wife and I were at a choral concert recently and when the introducer talked about the long tradition of choral music in Minnesota and asked for show of hands of the Scandinavians in the audience, I whispered to my wife, "A real Norwegian wouldn't have responded...."), but I may contribute ocassionally to questions about frames or when I have something in my archives which would be valuable. If you're interested in my work, there's more about me at my new website, a complete surprise from of on my friends.

Chris, I feel confident that I speak for most of us here in letting you know that you are not merely welcome here, but in fact esteemed by the CR crowd as one of the treasures of the American cycle frame building traditiion.
Please share your knowledge with us frequently!
