Gentlemen - I FULLY understand that this bike is not ideal for my needs nor the terrain that I wish to ride. However, it WILL get me to work and back (24 miles) and WILL give me a different challenge to my Spec. Roubaix along with more weather - resistance than the Roubaix. I have a hard time selling it as, who knows, I might find that I enjoy off-road biking with the Blur. I got this bike for $0 in 2005 and so have zero monetary invested into it. I would just rather ride the bike than watch it hang from the rafters for another 5 years. I dont want to sell as there is a little sentimentality attached to it. As for the Garmin? At 290lbs I insist on monitoring my heart-rate when exercising - invaluable
