Yes - it is going to be hard parting with this bike.
I agreed to buy that Univega Gran Tourismo frame on the C&V Sale Forum - so someone has to go.
It made too much sense to buy the Univega - I have a donor bike to swap the parts (not counted in the 15).
I could sell my Prelude, but it has too much sentimental value, plus a very sweet complete friction Shimano 600 ex group with bio pace rings.
I could also sell my Tempo - I have two.
I hate decisions like this - but a promise is a promise.

Maybe I will long term loan a Tempo and strip another bike to the frame and put in storage.
Maybe my wife will like the Duo Sport Tandem experience so much, she will become a C&V'r.
We'll take another ride on the Ironman and decide. I do not want to regret the decision for ever. I'm not sure how many nicer Ironman's I will find.
Thanks.
