So why are you selling it?


If you flex the bottom bracket I'll probably tear it off... besity:

I'm THINKING about selling it because I don't use it nearly as much as I'll probably use my mountain bike. Besides, if I sell it, it gives me an excuse to either step up to a motorcycle or simply buy another bike at some point...

Nah...no way you'll tear it off unless you tend to stand up and pedal HARD in much too high of a gear on the hills. On the flats it's just a little extra flex to make the bike far more comfortable than the geometry might otherwise suggest...

I'm recalling why I haven't bought a bike in recent years...

$1000 doesn't go far

I'm trying to remember what the three wheeled motorcycle/trike/vehicle was called that I read about recently in a motorcycle mag...

It was designed by 3 automotive designers or something like that...

I'm also telling you that $1k (give or take a couple bills) is an excellent price point for a bike IMO...

I'm saying that the bike manufacturers fight viciously for that market and, while it's a bit of work to sort through, there are some jewels to be found.
