Also here are the rest of my tarck/track bikes (with the exception of my Kilo TT which I can’t seem to find any pictures of… it was my first non-conversion)

This was another tarckers at one point, though I didn’t buy it from them. Fun bike but a bit small for me.

Built this for myself to race on, once I got the T3 I switched it to Sw8 fixy mode

If that gold alpha mercury could’ve fit bigger than 28s I’d actually be sad I sold it.

Not much love for bullhorns in here. Didn’t see any chop and flips at all except for mine. I guess most of y’all we’re of a later generation.

This is not a comprehensive list. There are a couple missing from the 2007-2013 era. Since then everything has been pretty well documented via instagram.

2007- ~2011 (RIP, fell on the top tube and folded like a wet noodle)

 ![pista](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/2X/e/ecebf533137c5f43c111b37aecd1b0b0603a4b28.jpeg)

circa 2011-2013 work bike (fork failed)

 ![](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/2X/8/8aa947542d57e537d288d57d9c72a994ef2f2d81.jpeg)

circa 2013-2014 work bike (spidering with internationalpartydude)

2015 work bike

 ![Screenshot%20(3)](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/2X/6/635de0630703d1a597219ca2f36c1ca748ead9c0.png)

2018 with a partsbin build. Currently setup way way nicer than this.
