Or the jeans people used to buy with the knees already worn out. Even today, people buy the prestained hippie jeans so they look like they never get washed.
That fixie may have $1k worth of hubs and cogs but sssshh, keep it a secret. Must not let anyone know; it'll blow my street cred.

I build bikes like I am built...old and cheep.
I slobber over bikes in Velo-space that are like
a date with a super model.. expensive, exotic and hot.
To be ponderously redundant....Its all good.
