I built my first "Track bike" back in 1975 I think it was. I was working in a bike shop just down the street from my high school. It was a frankenbike built from a hodge-podge of parts. It started out as a Peugeot "10-speed" though. I own two Wabi's now (A Special and a Classic) and I love the ride on both of them. Did a 20 miler today on the Special.

I've got both of them rigged-up as single speed and not fixed gear. A bad crash in 2020 left me with a shattered wrist decided to leave the fixed gear in the rearview mirror for a while. Yep, mistake on my part.
