For Sale: Amazing Value Used S-Works Safire

[Wahine]

Moonbeam is being boxed up as we speak to go to her new home and owner in Maryland.

I actually got a little teary as I said goodbye for the last time.

We had a good run. I'm glad she'll go someplace where she'll get lots of use and love. But I am sad to see her go.

it is hard to let go your trusty old friend. You know how she handles, how she behaves and all that memory.

I was sad to see my litespeed go to a new owner. A doctor bought it for his 12 yo daughter. I told him she has a better bike than you. He smiled and agreed. I hope she is still riding a bike. Yes it was Titanium frame with full ultegra.

Ditto. I sold my beloved Titus Racer X to a guy for his 12-year old daughter as we were moving out of the country. She test rode my bike around the parking lot, and I felt so sad seeing them load a bike I'd loved dearly into their vehicle. But I was glad Dad was getting his daughter such a nice ride -- it was older but still in good shape, with excellent componentry.

P.S. I ended up wishing I'd shipped it to Belize after all as the unpaved and cobblestone roads here would have felt a lot better with a full suspension -- but I worried about maintenance in a harsh marine climate and riding on the sand. I figured the fork and rear shock, not to mention the gears, etc. would not do well down here, and they probably wouldn't have. I ride a SS beach cruiser instead. This way, if/when it's totally trashed, I won't feel so bad.
