ugh!
This bike is sweet, but I also know the struggle of selling something nice in a larger size.

I just sent this to a cycling group on the local air base, maybe some one will snap up a sweet deal

Looks such a good deal. If only I was in the market. Did you put it on the buy, sell, swap Japan facebook page too?

That one's really more than tempting AND even my size! And probably exactly what I need to get my divorce papers served.

Hmmm.......... some good magic there.

Hahaha. I suckered her by promising I'd sell before I got the new bike.
Then I ordered the new bike, picked it up and started riding it.

She has recently been kicking my shins about it... hahahaha

Yes I did. I think someone from this forum recommended it to me.

You will be right. Are you sure you don't want to check it out?

Yeah the offers I keep getting are from people thinking I'm doing a sayonara sale.

Thank you so much. It's really hard for taller riders to find sizes for nice bikes here, and they often don't import even the size of my Emonda.

Sold! If anything changes before pickup date I’ll post again.

Happy for your wife!

Happy for your wife!

yeah I thought I’d need to sell my wife so I could keep all my bikes for a while there.

 

[TheAussieinJapan]

Darn coronavirus. The guy that was due to buy the bike is apparently stuck in Korea and not sure if his company will send him back to Japan in the near future.

With that in mind while I'd like to hold it for him there are too many unknowns so back up for sale just in time for cycling weather or for commuting by bike to avoid the sick folks on the trains.

Whoops.
Meant to be a PM.
