Since 2007, I have managed to find another Woodrup but regret selling off a Japanese Bianchi, a Rocky Mountain Classic, and a Trek 420 that would have been great for my wife (although the collage student I gave it to, really appreciated it!).

Cheers,

You might like to still have those bikes, but would you trade those years as a climbing bum for anything? I bet not.
