Think This Gentleman Wants His Frame Back?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yep...always be sure you're ready to part with something before you throw it on ebay. Once the bidding begins...it's headin' out your door.

It will be fun to watch the end of the auction.

This bike just showed up in the local Craigslist:



A mere $5700 and it can be yours.
