Picked up a second hand state core line as my just for fun bike. I’m a dad pushing 40 and put about 3k miles a year carting kids around on cargo bikes, and wanted something just for me. I upgraded the wheel set since the existing ones were constantly out of true and swapped out the brake levers on the flats for bar end levers.
It’s not the fanciest ride, but I’ve had a blast with it. That is, until some asshole turned through a bike lane without signaling and hit me with his pickup. I’ve got a broken arm, but the bike’s fine. Eager to get back on it in 6-8 weeks.
