Any Home Mechanics?

OK, all of us are in this group because we enjoy riding bicycles. My question is, how many others consider themselves to be home mechanics?

Personally, I restore vintage bikes, my main interest being English 3 speeds.

I built my first bike at 8yo and have done all my own maintenance since.

Neptune,
Two of the better web sites I've found on bicycle mechanics are bicycletutor.com and parktools.com. Check them out, you will not be disapointed.

i consider myself a shadetree mechanic, old cars, 60's era minibikes, old boat motors and of course bicycles. i have been tinkering, tearing apart and attempting to put back together since i was a kid but not as into it as when i was younger take a effort sometime to change oil in the cars and trucks but once i'm into the garage i'll stay there till dark.
