Aww man, this is hard!
I wanna do right by my baby. It's like finding home for a favourite pet... or getting your daughter married off!
In fact, I'm finding your enthusiasm infectious... I kinda want to keep the ol' gal now. I didn't know I was riding a retrobike, it was just my (lovely) bike. I never realised my old bike was so desirable... Well, I did for the first few years, when it attracted plenty of attention. But now, most folk don't appreciate the beauty I see (the fact I had draped panniers, barbags, muffs and assorted caggage might have something to do with that).
But, with a more sober head on, I know she would be better off with someone who would give her the TLC she needs.
You seem like a good bunch and I'm struggling to decide who should have it.
Makster had a good idea. He suggested I should auction it off for charity. Sounds like a bit of a plan, d'ya reckon?
Be good to raise a bit for CLIC (Cancer and Leukaemia In Children), I have a nephew who's going through the mill with Leukaemia.
Dunno how to make this fly, but I'm sure you have some ideas. Go via ebay or something informal on the forum?
If you are gonna bid on this, you'll need a bit more info. I'll take some better photos tomorrow and post 'em up with a better description.
