Dilemma: To sell or not to sell

[Velocivixen]

I think it would be very generous of you to give someone else the opportunity at having a really nice bike at a reasonable price. Good karma. You'll find just the right person who will love it as much as you have. Go for it!

I'd be tempted to keep it for when I found a really nice frame for a 2nd road bike... then swap all your fantastic parts on it. Do the work yourself if you want to learn more.

I keep a titanium road bike and a carbon road bike - one's a double, one's a triple. One used to live at the BF's house. But it gives me options.

How about keeping it around long enough to see if you actually do ride it as a back-up? You can sell it later & keep the good karma circulating if you find that you aren't riding it

[warneral]

How about keeping it for a trainer until you decide if you can part with it?

Sounds to me like you just got your good weather bike and the old one can be your rain bike! Slap some fenders and buddy flaps on that puppy and you're good to go.

[Biciclista]

I agree with Kfergos. Not to mention if you have a guest you have a bike for them to ride.
In a couple years, if you've never used it, sell it on craigslist!

Thanks to everyone who weighted in! I think I will indeed keep it for now, try to fit some permanent fenders on it, and hang it in the basement for the winter. One issue with that bike actually was that I was never able to really fit fenders properly on it, it was very awkward, but perhaps if we're not worried about the aesthetics of it and if we don't mind making things permanent it will be easier to make dry rides happen!

Maybe I could get a slightly shorter stem, too, on the cheap, and resolve part of the reach issue... But not now. For now, I'll just enjoy the new kid on the block!
