The one that got away......

As i'm sorting through my photos on my iphone deleting all the crappy ones so the shots i have are keepers, i noticed a couple screen shots i took of some bike ads that were on the local kijiji.

I remember these two made me nearly puke when i missed it, both times i was either the 3rd or 4th person in line. Of course knowing this i had no chance of getting them.

Please feel free to post stories or pictures of your just missed bikes that made you lose some sleep or made you sick to your stomach cause you were stuck are work and couldn't get there in time, you guys know what i'm talking about.

here they are i missed both of these:

A flipper got ahold of this one and listed it on kijiji the next day for 400





This one still hurts, i rarely see these in toronto but i know they are incredible bikes

lol, 4 am is about my normal bedtime.

i actually left this on my iphone browser so i probably went back and took a screenshot at that time. it didn't keep me up, but it may have lingered in the back of my mind for a couple of days..lol
