I know you have that other very special Colnago in your stable, as well as some other nice steeds , but still , IT'S ORANGE!!! Any way I am confident the new owner will enjoy the heck out of this stallion. I have only sold a couple of bikes , and , honestly , it made me happy to see the new owner ride away with that smile. I have not regretted selling them. Thanks for sharing the "Last Ride" , Joe
If by "stop" you mean selling, well - I only have one more bike to go
You know, I still have one orange bike left, the Davidson, currently serving as my zero-bike in Phoenix. But I understand where you're coming from. I had a good 11+ year run with this, but you know, it went through a lot of hands before it got to me. While I'm only the second owner of three of my five - and the original owner of one - this one has more of a "gypsy" past and it's fitting that it will spend the next number of years with yet another owner (who also happens to be interested in riding it).
So far, I've shared your experience with the bikes I've sold: no regrets. Primarily this is because bikes that fit have to be my focus going forward. I'm not getting any younger! Thanks for the nice comments
