No, I'm not selling my bikes for half price. I'm getting rid of half of my bike fleet.
One day as I was tripping around stuff in my garage, I looked around and realized I had two of everything, bike wise:
- two 700c, steel frame, fixed gear bikes (Rivendell Quickbeam and Trek 610)
- two 700c, steel frame, medium tired all rounds (Black Mountain Monstercross and Surly Straggler)
- two 29er mountain bikes (Cotic BFE Max and Giant Trance)
- two 20" folding bikes (Bike Friday Crusoe and Bike Friday New World Tourist)
In the interest of freeing up some space and funds, I decided to unload half of my bikes. Since I had two of everything, this was theoretically simple, but some decisions were harder than others. Let's look at them, from the easier choices to the more difficult:
