Mine is too garbled to even fully describe.

1. Sear constrictor BMX, late 1980s, fluorescent orange.

2. McKinely MTB from a sports store that was black with neon orange forks and handlebars

3. 1995 Rocky Mnt. Hammer, rigid. LX components

4. After a brief motocross phase, culminating in a 1995 Honda CR 250. I picked up a Trek Jetta (you know the ones that came with the car)

5. I picked up a Bianchi limited from a scrap metal place and tuned it up with basic tools and no guidance or knowledge, but I completely rebuilt everything and road it 50kms to my parents house. It was too small so I sold it.

6. Moved to bc with the Trek as a commuter and bought a 2004 Norco Sasquatch hardtail and started "free riding"

7.Moved to vancouver and needed a better commuter. a refurbished 1984 Nishiki International



8. I got hooked on road riding so I searched for a real road bike 1981 Nishiki Comp II

that didn't work so good with the narrow bars and huge chain rings so I made it a fixie and begun to think about a newer bike.



9. I picked up a centaur grey group and it lived briefly on a schwinn premis but then a marinoni special fell into my lap.



Over this period I bought and sold and built and road and flipped many many bicycles as I learned my trade and became a full time bike mechanic.

I acquired a stable of many different bikes.

nishiki international became a long haul trucker which was sold for a soma saga



The vintage bug did not leg go and I had to build a super record bike, that was my Faggin


which was replaced by my gazelle as i acquired the 531 bug


I also had this Schwinn briefly


My fixed gear frame was sold and I road this Jeunet for a while
