Parting with my Rivendell....
Okay I am really in a quandary. As I mentioned a few months ago, I unexpectedly discovered a new bike when we went to Interbike in Vegas. "Bernard" is a beautiful Gilles Berthoud touring bike w/26 " wheels. After some nice S24O's I have come to the conclusion that he is a better fit for me, Trust me this has been a tough call.
So now I am facing a tough reality that keeping "Sky" my beautiful Rivendell Bleriot really isn't practical. Owning two bikes that serve a very similar purpose is pretty selfish.
I am not a selfish person and selling "Sky" would actually help pay for "Bernard" OR I could make a lovely gift to my DD... but not sure if she would appreciate her.
Obviously I am typing this more to get it out of my head than to expect practical advice from fellow crazy bike chicks
I feel like I did in college when I sold my horse. Sigh
Sky King
