General Cycling Discussion - UPDATE: What is a FAIR price?

Well, Koffee you wanted an update and I waited a day to let it settle so I would know what to say to my sister-in-law about buying the bike. When I called, my nephew answered. I asked him if he would sell it to me (since it is the bike HE won) and he said that he would think about a price. When I called him today I asked him if he figured a price and he told me that I should just take it because he is not using it and it's just hanging in the garage. I was so surprised! I asked him twice if he was sure and that I 'd be glad to pay him for it but he said "you're my aunt, you can just have it!". Can you believe it? Boy his mom will be mad, but I decided that I'll buy him a game for his X-Box in return. What a sweet kid.....

Huh?

Gotta see my thread from a few days ago. Sorry for the confusion.

ROCK ON!!! Lock it up so the old hag don't steal it back

Wow, despite the odds, that sounds like your nephew is turning out to be a good kid. Try to keep him away from his mom. :)

Good on him! He sounds like a good kid, no thanks to his money grubbing mom (sorry).

Koffee

Sorry, missed that post. It's all clear now. Enjoy the ride!

Okay, so what did you score for free?

very cool, your nephew sounds like a cool kid!:)

(hint) instrad of getting him an x-box game maybe you could buy him a new bike and take him riding with you! I know I was excited when my uncle and aunt asked if I wanted to go riding with them. And look at me now! Flat broke with three bikes and a crapload of gear:D

The only kind of cycling my nephew ever did was a short stint in BMX. His parents got him a pretty expensive bike back in the day. That led him into motocross. Actually, he is getting a bigger motorcycle soon - - I guess he outgrew the other one. I've tried asking him before if he'd liked to go but he just kind of smiled nicely and politely declined. Then he asked if I wanted to go motorcycle riding. Well, that's a 17 year old for ya...

motox eh?

He sounds like he's go the balls to go big in FR/DH.

Tru 'dat!!!!

You might want to get him something for his new bike, too or instead, since that way it would be sort of a passion swap. Just a thought.

As for the rubbing off fears someone posted, I'd say someone's doing something right over there if he's happy to give it to you.

Get him a nice new pipe from FMF for his mx bike. Even one from White Bros. would be alright. ;)
