I was going to give away a mint 1984 Trek 520 to someone at work who needs a bike but I’m tuning it up right now and damn, the thought of giving it up is killing me. Especially if the new owner doesn’t appreciate it for that it is - a glorious example of Made in USA steel bike history.

But it’s been sitting in my basement, unridden for three years. It should be enjoyed. Anyone else feel conflicted like this?
