Wow. I have a friend who buys and sells lots of high end bikes, at least he used to, and he would sell them to other club members cheap. One time he got a new Pinnarello something for about $12k and he liked it so much he picked up a second one in a different color. Nice guy, too bad his bikes are too small for me.
Does you friend keep all the bikes?

Here is a screen grab of his new bike from Strava. Looks good!

Maybe you guys can help me understand something. I am planning a ride for tomorrow that is 80 miles. However, the starting point is about 10 miles from my house, so of course I riding to/from the start for a full century. I suggested this to the other 5 riders who will be joining me and NONE of them are interested. They think 80 is plenty. I don't get it.

who would? Nature hates you and some of your stench could rub off.

The residual chemical stench caused Mrs. rjones28 to shun me when I got home.

I'm not sure I would spend money repairing that thing. Different strokes for different folks. RIP Gary Coleman, Conrad Bain and Todd Bridges

That's why some people can't have nice things. Granted, that may not have been the nicest thing, even when new, but it was nice to someone.
