Unloved? Where?



The day I picked this one up, I wasn't even looking for a bike - but it was still in good condition, sitting out in a yard slowly deteriorating, and there was no way I was going to let it go to hell. No, I don't ride it nearly as much as the rest of the stable (250 miles this year, vs., 400 minimum for any of the others), but it still gets ridden and is well appreciated. And even though I could use the wall space, I refuse to sell it - at least until this fixie craze finally dies out. This bike's in too nice a shape to sell to some VCU student to hack.
