Hit 200 custom bike builds last week and it caught me off guard

I was just cleaning up my workshop logbook and flipped back to page one. First build was a beat up Schwinn cruiser for my nephew back in 2018. Last week I finished number 200, a track frame with some old Campagnolo parts I found at a swap meet. I didn't realize I had that many builds in me, especially since I work out of a one car garage. Has anyone else lost track of how many projects they've finished until you actually count them up?

Oh man that's awesome! I used to be the type who just kept cranking out builds without really looking back at what I'd done. It honestly never occurred to me to count them until I saw your post. But now I'm tempted to go through my own garage and tally up. Like I'd probably be surprised too since I've got frames leaning against every wall in my house at this point. Your story actually makes me wanna start a logbook now, just to see the progression over time.

Grab a notebook and start jotting down the date you finished each one.
