Just crossed 200 full bike builds from the frame up
Started keeping track as a joke about 3 years ago (after my 50th build or so) and I just hit bike number 200 this morning. It was a beat up 80s Schwinn that needed a whole new drivetrain and wheelset. Has anyone else ever gone back and counted how many bikes they've actually built from the frame?

Did you actually log all 200 or did you have to go back and try to remember most of them? That counting process alone feels like its own kind of punishment, especially when you start thinking about the ones that got away. Props for sticking with it though, that takes a weird kind of dedication.

Right, so did I log all 200 the honest way? Ha! No way. I got to about 85 before my brain started melting. I ended up scrolling through old texts and photos from that whole year hoping for clues. It's funny how you'll completely forget a book you read last March, but you can weirdly remember what you were eating while you read it.

Pile right on, @angelar57 - I did the exact same thing with my 100 book challenge last year. Got to maybe 60 before I was just staring at my Goodreads shelves hoping the titles would jog something loose, and ended up texting my sister like "hey what was that weird thriller we both read in July?
