your frame is fine. chill out
Man, I learned a long time ago that it was a bad idea to keep track of this kind of stuff.
Not that I would really care if I added it up anyway. I’d just rather not know.

I don’t have a Taiwanese track frame but I wouldn’t mind having one though.
They are just too expensive here in Japan.
My track frame is Italian, which means I’m better that you… unless you also have an Italian frame.
