I've had to convert my Condor Lavoro track bike into a single speed commuter. A crash on LVV dented the frame, and I only went back there twice after that. Never really felt comfortable up on the boards after it. Someone said to me that I'd never be able to sell it to any track rider if it has had any sort of crash. Having a second kid also meant less time for doing fun stuff.
So now I look like a hipster. You have the right to sneer at me if you see me around on this ridiculously expensive causal use bike. But I guess at least it is seeing some use and not gathering dust in the bike shed in our block.
Just wanted to share that today.
