wow, I am thrilled that you think so.

but 2000 miles on that Bianchi meant a lot too.

Guess it's just like not ever forgetting your first love.

Oh, boy. Don't I relate to that.
I still pine for my old Eros.
And, sure, I have a fancy new custom bike, too....but I'm hesitating at putting my old Seven up on the auction block. I don't suffer from "buyer's remorse"....I suffer from "seller's remorse".
So many miles, so many fun rides. It's like selling a part of yourself.
I'd love to see the bike continue to give long, happy miles...but ...
Oh, I'm soooo torn.

You're right. I'll never forget her.

I haven't given up any of my bicycles. I just ride more with each one I get, it seems... they each have their niche, tho' my Schwinn Racer has been pining a bit.

Ah Sundial, its a strange feeling, isn't it.

I haven't sold my first bike - my 13 yr old is riding it now, but it felt strangly tearing inside to give it up...

We are in the process of seeling the first bike I ever bought for my partner - his second road bike. And its kind've bugging him too - its surplus to our requirements and we have upgraded bikes way beyond what this one can do for us.

But yet it bothers us all, doesn't it, to relinquish something we have spent so much time with. And I have felt almost traitorous (if thats a word??) when I have looked forward to a new bike, or had more pleasure riding a new bike than my lovely old red Scorpio.

Sounds like we all kind've sit in the same saddle when it comes to this attachment with our steeds.

Its great Iris has gone to a good home

I guess I'm on the rebound. I'm pining for a Terry Isis.
