Today I cleaned up the bike room.
I also spent some time inventorying stuff I no longer really use.
A couple weeks ago, I sold my trainer. I now have 2 bikes listed on pinkbike and plan to list one more....
In other news, I bought another bike....
Bikes getting the AXE...
1) The Intense. It is my park bike. The new bike will replace it.
2) The Single Speed. I love it, but I will most likely convert my Ti bike to SS, so it will be redundant.
3) The Fargo. This bike kills me. It sits unridden for long periods, then I ride it and fall in love all over again.
Letting go of bikes is tough for me when I truly appreciate them. Even if unridden.
The Intense is insanely good at what it does and if I lived near Suwako, I would probably ride it daily.
The Fargo is a great commuter - but I bought my surly and that is overlapping too much and makes the Salsa expendable... again.
The SS is a casualty of me buying a Stanton as a geared MTB. It has almost killed the purpose of the ti bike. I would rather sell the SS and convert the ti bike to SS than sell the Ti bike.
The other alternative is shipping the Salsa to Indiana for use when I am there and the SS to North Carolina for riding when I am there...
Sadly, both NC and Indiana don't have a place to ride my intense.
