So today, my 2001 terry classic (Athena) left my garage to go to a better home. After converting her to dropped bars a few years back, I needed the new parts to build Feronia, my travel bike, so I retired her. But, I still had her original parts and the frame sitting in my garage. Actually, I had two classics, my crashed one, and my replacement one. A fellow at work wanted to resurrect her for his wife for X-mass. She had a rough year, beat a pretty scary and aggresive melanoma. She had given her bike, which had too long a top tube for her anyway, to her taller daughter. So, today he picked up both frames and the box of parts. He'll have to pull the fork from the crashed frame since the original has some rust, and put all the parts back on, but then she'll have a really nice touring bike that should fit her really well. She's built like me, long legs but short upper body and arms. He parks his bike in the rack at work next to mine, and got really excited when he saw the small front wheel, as his wife was always complaining that bikes were too long for her. While it was sad to see her leave my garage, I knew I would never take the time to rebuild her, so it was great to see her going to a good home where she'll ride again.
