Well, I finally made the decision to get rid of some bikes, since I am beginning to feel like I should be on the Hoarders tv show...
So, I posted an ad on Craigslist, Friday, to sell the Fat Sand Bike. I was still ambivalent about getting rid of it, but I figured I would have plenty of time to change my mind if I felt like it, CR being as flaky as it is.
Tonight, a fellow drove down from Westminster and bought the bike. (So much for having some time to think about it.) But, I think it will serve him well, for his purposes, and I am glad to pass it along to someone who will get good use from it.
Now, to list a few more...

ah good for you! I'm been simplifying my collection from a one time 27 ridable bikes (all mine, not my wifes or kids) to now having only 4. an extracycle, a cruiser - which doesn't really count because it's not really for real cycling - a fixie and my LHT. The coin toss is going on soon between my fixie and LHT as the last real bike in my stable. It's kind of nice actually. I used to waste a lot of time and energy deciding which bike I should take before a ride, trying to match the bike with the exact current conditions. Now, I pretty much just decide if I want gears or not and go:)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest my friend. I've found it to be such a liberating experience.
Why did you decide on getting rid of the Fat Sand Bike? You seemed to like it ok from what I remember. Does the Mukluk suit you better?
ReplyDeleteI did like the FSB but, yes, the Mukluk does suit me better. It is more off-road capable, and that makes it better for me.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the space and money, I would have kept them both.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I can understand. I've sold off bikes when they're too similar to another bike I own. I'd rather have variety and similarity in my fleet.

Need to motivate to do the same.
