3 months ago I started my quest into rust.
I am going to attempt to store/categorize/rate all of the bicycle related websites I can find and keep this as a "living" list to help all of the new joiners to the hobby.
FORUMS

Mainly vintage American bikes. A lot of very knowledgeable members.

A massive forum on any possible bike topic you can imagine. First few times I went on the site i was overwhelmed with the amount of information and forums. Global userbase which is nice if you like vintage foreign bicycles.
