Not in chronological order. With my wife(then girlfriend) visiting a local shop that carries some used bikes, I remarked that this one reminded me of my first ‘real bike’. I walked out of the shop only to notice that she stayed behind. She soon came out with this one in tow. A ‘97 nothing-special Hardrock. I quickly turned it into a fixed gear and served me well that way in 700c and 650b mode for a number of years. In 2015 we had our first son and I immediately made it my first dadbike. 26” and gears. It’s had my xtracycle on quite a lot, and it’s been the first bike either of our two oldest have gone for rides on in the Yepp seat. It’s at the welder being repaired now, and will likely be the first bike our 4mo daughter will go on when she’s ready in a few months.
