Michael,

Short wheel base, and the fact some local drivers have clearly not seen me when they should, and nearly killed me. I had one guy throw his car in reverse while glancing in his mirror. I pulled out, and he "should" have killed me, would have flatened a kid who was equaly low. I didn't have time to react to him, I just moved over cause the situation didn't feel right. The bike also seems to bring out Easy rider Syndrome in hicks.

But on the less local level, it has under the seat bars (could be changed) and they are hugely wide, and impossible to push the bike around with, so for instance crossing constricted international or HWY bridges would be crazy.

This thing should have been perfect for me, it is a great bike and set up. It has all the trick racks, and generator lights. Due to some damage to my right leg, the perfect exercise should have been biking with my feet elevated. Unfortunately I still after a few years of light use, haven't gotten used to the thing on steep hills. I would sell it, it is a desireable brand, in Germany. Overall the problem is me. And since my conventional tour went well...

My other thought is that I will keep it, use as is, and also when I need to scavenge the parts for a BF type bike I might use on certain trips.

How did you unload yours?
