I went back to work today after a week at home recuperating. As I walked in, I was met by a coworker I had loaned my old Trek 970 rigid MTB (Kemo Sabe) to see if he wanted to buy it. He had decided he liked it and handed me cash in the amount we had discussed. The bike is his now.

I'll miss the bike, but I'm glad to see it go to someone who will actually ride it. It is a great old high quality lugged steel frame with a nice mix of decent level components set up for casual road and path riding with a little smooth singletrack on the side. I had reconfigured the bike many times trying to find a way to fit it into my regular riding rotation, but it kept being left behind. Funny thing is than it would probably have been my first choice when I ease back into riding as my injuries heal. But I'll manage.

I'm not quite ready to declare Ribby permanently out of service just yet. I am looking into how it might be repaired and at what cost. We'll just have to see.
