Yup, that is my excuse... I did it just to protect you Mel :-)

So if anyone ever asks, you can tell them that you bought the bike for a good cause!

Hi Scotte,

Your son may not be able to express his gratitude to you at his young age, but believe me, when he gets to be in his 30's and has his own kids, he will understand your sacrafices and giving him the once in a lifetime opportunity. You're kid only once. And you are giving him a lifetime of not just wonderful fond memories, but more like one phenominal unbelievable memories where others can only dream.

How can I say that? well my parents allowed me to do things too. Like when I was training on alpine skiis. I shattered it during one practice run. That evening, I had a new pair of Rossignol skiis with brand new salomon bindings all fitted to my boots etc. I was able to go to the practice the next day. They drove me to practice without ever complaining... And the memories I will cherish forever. My sister only got a brand new CJ-5 jeep on her 16th birthday (Nanu-nanu was the rage at the time). I think I had much better deal

Financial responsibility when they grow up? Well. I manage my money carefully, prudently. I own my own house in a beach community of LosAngeles suburb. I have no credit card debt, car is fully paid, and house will be mortgage free in few more years. So if you raise him right, he will know the value of money when he grows up.

I wish your son success at his races with many happy memories to come.

Wish you well, You are a one heck of a wonderful father.

Unfortunately for some of us, "Litespeed Unicoi" + Google = Temptation

You'd be surprised. It's a 2000 frame so it's a deal. This would be a great bike for someone who wants a hardtail or a commuter bike.

I haven't posted about the bike because it's too dusty to photograph and I don't want to wash it when it's this cold. I’d take $900 which would include a $100 packing and shipping allowance. I have no idea what shipping and insurance would cost, but I would take it to www.webcyclery.com here in town to be professionally packed since I have no experience packing full bikes for shipment.
