My brother still is mad at himself that he sold his red Rock Lobster SS (even though he has two Rock Lobster race bikes at the moment and a Ti Desalvo SS). He said there was something about that bike he just loved.
Me, I wish I still had my Big Hit. T'was a beautiful bike, tons of travel and I got a screamin' deal on it at the time, new. There's just some times on the trail that I'd like to just huck it like I did with that bike. Oh well.
I may get another long travel FS bike eventually.

I wish I'd never gotten rid of my Domain...I'd be that much closer to a LT "fun bike". I would still have done what I did with the Komodo though...just need to get that 6x6 or 7x7 built someday.

Not exactly a sale, but an unauthorized 'borrow'. About ten years ago, my aunt took my early 1970s Raleigh and let her nephews (my cousins) borrow it for a summer while they visited. I was out the country at the time. She didn't ask, and I never saw my bike again. Just a week ago, I decided to buy a new bike, and I asked if she possibly knew the old bike's location. She had moved since then and had no idea. She did sincerely apologize though. It still annoys me because I want my bike but I was gracious to accept it.

though it was busted up, out of date, abandoned...i wish i had not busted up and abandoned my first mtb...a 1991 or 92 (canary yellow) Giant Iguana...i had super knobbies on it and a FLEXSTEM...which really made a difference (at the time). i actually wish i still had that retro dinosaur. i'd still have fun with it...
i assume it got washed away from Katrina where i left it in a shed, 3 blocks from the coast and eventual 30+ ft. surge...

Oh, BMX bikes... wow. My prized possession was my 1988 General Osborn Pro Freestyle. Those are so rare now, I really wish I had mine. My Haro Bashguard bike was also a dream, I could bashguard grind that bike for daaaaayyyyzzz.
I wish I would've bought 10 Ozone Freestyle bikes... or at least the frames. Those are very rare now.
