Does anyone else have a bike that you look back more fondly on that it deserves? This was my first project bike. It was really beat up, and I made a lowball offer that the seller accepted. Oops, just bought a project!

Redid the fork seals, the whole braking system, chain and sprockets, tires… But there were still even more problems than I had time for (paint, rust, fuelling weirdness, rear shock issues). I always wish I still had it until I remember how much more work it needed.

    Slightly off topic but when was this picture taken? I ask because it appears to be taken with a disposable film camera, but that appears to be a mid-to-late 2000s Subaru in the background.

      Most disposable cameras didn’t have a clock/features for the date FWIW, so it was probably taken by a non-disposable. The date seems to claim 2021 but that would surprise me too unless OP is a proper photog. Also, looks like socal to me

      You’re right! It’s from a little Pentax point-and-shoot from 2001 or so, but I took it just a couple years ago. I’ve been into old film cameras, altho this one’s pretty new for my collection
