I got my Giant OCR 3 with some nice extras like SPD pedals & computer for $200. Now a neighbor is trying to tempt me with her gently used Terry....
I've come up with a plan to get a new bike sooner rather than later: sell off all the crap that's been accumulating around here and use those $$ to fund the new bike. Call it "Bike financed by Ebay". Too bad I can't sell the current bike until after I have the new bike
