yeah i was, especially when i found out it wasnt going to be another retro build. the buyer bought it because she wanted something cheap and light........ and she liked the colour.
it was a great looking frame, but too small unfortunately. its touring ireland ATM, apparently. so at least its getting more use than i was out of it
That's a great place for a bike to be! I sold a Toyota 4x4 a while back, to a guy that was shipping it to Costa Rica to use it as a support vehicle for a Surfing Tour company. I loved that truck, but when I got married and started planning for a family, it just wasn't practical. I felt much better about selling it when I found out where it was headed. What better place for an older 4x4 than humping surfers around Costa Rica?
Se be happy for your Orange, touring in Ireland sounds like a cool assignment for a bike frame to me!
