Came to me for free and has carried me and god knows how much cargo to and from work through 2 winters now. Has had a powdercoat and a few new bits and bobs but not much really and certainly not much in the way of maintenance but still I can just jump on and I know it'll be sweet.
The frame more than anything. Bought way back at the start of the fixie boom, my first proper fixed frame (ie not a conversion), swapped with a mate for his Fuji then bought back. Has had the chainstay battered in for chainring clearance, tatty as hell, hellish low bottom bracket and all but worthless but it was my first and it'll never get sold.
Probably also my 1x1. Was looking at a Pugsley recently but the thought of making the 1x1 redundant made me sad. I passed on the Pugs and have treated the 1x1 to a set of Middleburns instead.
