I just sold my red bike - for some reason I'm sad

Yup! No way....no WAY I will ever part with my 70's Gitane TdF, or my '86 Bianchi Super Grizzly mtb. Uh-uh. It would be like losing a couple of limbs; both have been with me since new. I'm also very attached to my Falcon, Bianchi Limited, and Kuwahara mtb, but if worse came to worst, I could (with much persuasion) part with them. Probably.

But the TdF and Grizz stay.

Of course you're sad! Red bikes are special. I never want to have a bike that's not red. I know I'll probably have to at some point, but I'll keep thinking that I'll have to spray paint it red...

All the bikes I have ever had - were either blue (mostly blue) Silver or gray. This was my first red bike and well it got the reputation of being the "BLOOD" bike - I got hurt almost the first out on it, I got cancer and now have this serious back injury. I blamed all on the Blood Bike so sadly it had to go but it was a beauty especially after my good buddy Richard cleaned it upa nd put on a number of wax coats. It almost sparkled. I still have a silver, a gray and 2 blue bikes sitting int he agrage so it's not like I don;t have a replacement. It's just so weird I feel badly the bike is now gone...
