Those were some hard questions. The answers have changed over the years. I spent 10 years in the industry, allowing access to the latest and greatest tech. Life expands (wife, children...) and budgets tighten. 2020 brought a new bike to the garage that I am stoked about and a tween who wanted to rip with dad. Go back 2004 to the last new bike that I still ride today. It also pulled the kids around in a trailer. Lastly there is the dj bike. This one is real old, 2001 z1 drop offs, profile racing cranks (25+years) and a collection of junk keeping it rolling. New parts have been added over the years when needed. I would say I am nostalgic there is a Free Agent Rick Thorn Stiletto the boy rides and an original Kona humuhumunukunukuapua'a modded with a rear disc brake for my daughter. Keep them clean, tinker constantly and they last a long time, " sit down, shut up and peddle"
