I just sold one of my nicer frames yesterday and it was kinda tough to let it go. I had been saving this Nishiki frame for my son, but he decided on riding his mother's old Miyata instead. He made the better choice, and also cleared the way for me to part with several frames I'd been holding onto incase the kids might want them. The college kid is going to do a single-speed conversion with the Nishiki, but I don't feel bad about it. I could tell when he test rode it that the bike fit him well. Nope, I've gotten rid of several bikes from the collection and now I don't feel as 'wealthy' in bikes. Previously if a friend expressed interest in biking, I'd have likely had a bike in their size and probably their riding style too. I know more will come along, but I don't see many good road frames like that Nishiki.
