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.
