Mimi- I was going to carry the bassoon on my utility bike. (the Dew. SKnot chose the Smoke and loves it and is very excited about it)
I know, my bike saga is as good as a soap opera.
When I first sold my recumbent and wanted a diamond-frame, I was torn between the Dew and the Smoke. I bought the Dew.
Then I got Flossie. So I had two bikes.
Then just last week I traded in SKnot's out-grown bike and got a Smoke. So I had 3 bikes.
SKnot had said he wanted my Dew, but when he saw the Smoke he fell in love. (I want him to love a bike, any bike, so that is very cool)
Now I'm having thoughts of trading in my Dew for a second Smoke, cuz I really think it's a spiffy bike, and it's steel, which would make a good Xtracycle someday.
Then SKnot and I would have matching utility bikes, which he's ok with. And I would have Flossie for my zooming bike.
But of course, all these grandiose plans depend on the future state of my financial universe.
