Finally, my lovely custom Gunnar frameset is off to a new home. They got a REALLY good price, I've some cash, and it's going to a good home. All good

Bittersweet. Glad it has a good home.

Yes, it is very bittersweet. However she will get ridden now and will even get a whole new set of parts! I'm told she is the kind of person to take very good care of the bike once she can build it up, and will ride it until it falls apart - and that's a good thing. Trying to picture snow-studded tires on that bike and it makes me smile, she is going to have fun!

Be comforted knowing she'll have a good home! The bike is meant to be ridden (although some are so pretty you just want to hang them on the wall
) and I hope the new owner and bike will have many miles and smiles together.

Sorry you had to sell, Catrin, but I completely understand. I've had or wanted to sell many a bike in my time, and although it is always bittersweet, it's far better to have it used and enjoyed than just collecting dust.
P.S. I'm looking forward to getting my lovely Jamis you sold me back when we swing through NC this spring!Emily

It was time to let her go, I will never be able to ride again and it was getting depressing seeing her all lonely and neglected in my workout room. Do post stories and pictures of you and the fabulous Jamis when you pick her up, I want to hear the adventure stories
As it turned out it was great that you bought her. Jamis SERIOUSLY downgraded the Dakar Comp line that year. I think the 2011 version I purchased had the best mix of all of the Dakar Comps and then I upgraded the cassette before bringing her home.
