Made a nice profit on it though, so there’s that.

Mine antedate my having a digital camera, but

1. a Peugeot singlespeed conversion I assembled before I understood what a chainline was. Why did the chain keep falling off? Luckily I bought a De Bernardi track frame off a dude shortly thereafter, which limited the mistakes I could make setting up a one speed bike. this was in 2000?
2. A road bike with bullhorn bars and thumb shifters on the outer elbows of said bars. Also featuring Rolf Vector Comps. Total hotness, again, circa 2000/2001.

It’s not embarrassing for the bike, it’s embarrassing for the photo.

Circa 2006. Guess I was ahead of the randofop curve. I got so fished in by Rivendell when I didn’t know anything, holy shit a 62-cm bike for me. I’d probably still have this if it was a more reasonable 57 cm. Of course with extensive modifications.

I tried to be a DHBro for about 5 minutes

Edit: ca 2007. At least I made a good profit on the bike when I sold it

Not embarrassing, but here’s the transformation of my fixed gear bicycle into a sweet fixie.

Then it got a coaster brake and a basket

And there’s this monstrosity my neighbor gave me when I was going to community college.
