Tragic! Do you know how the rest of Europe tends to feel about their old bikes?
I'm worried about my habits. I used to start perusing my local CL for bikes. Then, started looking at CL prices up to 4 hours away. Now I'm toying with the idea of looking for bikes that are a $1500, 14 hour flight away from me.
You are all the most terrible enablers
