    These are definitely new riders. The lady that bought it demonstrated that all she knew was she did not want to have to bend over (like on a road bike).

    Then she said "now we have the bikes, all we need is the motivation" to which I replied "do you want us to call you too, to get you up and going?"

    I sold my first road bike and was so sad. She would have just sat there and the money came in handy but it still hurt. The girl who bought it said she wanted to ride with us come spring but never called. I lost her contact info. I hope my little baby is still enjoying the open road.

    after getting my new bike i had to sell my Bianchi, but i kept my Raleigh hybrid. I hope to put fatter tires on it and use it like a hybrid should be used instead of trying to make it into a road bike.

    Congrats on selling those bikes so fast. It IS a relief when that happens.

    I wish I still had my 1973 Raleigh Record.
    Sure, it would be wall art by now but I worked hard for it - weekends at McDonalds and layaway at the LBS. Took possession on a hot July day, rode 10miles home, pounded down some cold root beer and barfed.
    Ahh, good times
