bernie0: Circa 2008. My Pretty much when I got into fixed gear bicycles. This was my very first real track/fixed gear frame. I paid nearly $600 for just the frame alone! (Which was expensive when you didn’t have a real job and was drinking a lot). I started riding around on a crappy fixed gear conversion from an old road bike with my friends and doing stupid little tricks like it was a BMX bike. Little did I know I would get into racing on the track (Velodrome) later on and eventually got me into racing road bikes a few years later. This was also during a huge decline in my life. The girl I thought I would be with forever broke my heart and ruined my world. This is a friendly reminder of the wonderful and dark moments of my life. -- source link
