DH was in dire need of a new road bike. I gave him a budget, a very miniscule one, but with 2 kids in daycare, he's lucky he got a budget at all!

Getting with the times, DH managed to get this bike on trade for a kayak with paddle and a sprinkling system.

It was built 3 years ago by a friend of ours. He was in a bad car accident and his injuries have left him unable to ride. Fortunately, he's in good health. He can hike and kayak, but riding is unbearable on his back :( He's finally coming to terms and decided to sell. It's sad, but at least it's going to a good home.

That's a smoking hot bike, limewave. I hope your husband enjoys it for a long time to come.

I'm sorry to hear about the circumstances that caused your friend to consider selling it. Has he tried a recumbent yet? My Dh has tried his friend's catrike and said it's wicked fast. He said if he ever can't ride a traditional bike, he'd get himself one of those.

Nice ride!!!
Glad the hubs got a nice ride- and for a trade, no less.

Ok- that made me laugh "I gave him a budget, a very miniscule one."
That sounds like something I would say. ;)

OK, I'll say it.

Why would a kayak need a sprinkler system?
