At 15 miles I wanted to make the call of shame. First time in a long time I didn’t enjoy the ride at all.
Neighbor reached out to me this morning. He recently had cancer related surgery and won’t be able to ride his bike anymore. Asked me to try and find a buyer. 58 2015 Madone 2.1. Looks brand spanking new. Asking 500.00 for it. Wife hasn’t said no yet……
That's pretty much in the territory of buy it now and deal with fallout later. You could easily flip that bike for a profit if the wife staunchly objects (though I'd consider splitting any profits with the current owner).
