I didn't think that many Joe's were up for sale. At least one less now because I've decided to not sell mine.
The way this bike treats me on the kinds of roads and trails I ride on, I felt that I'm going to regret not having it even if frequency of me going out for rides were to be once a month or less (other than neighborhood grocery trips). Besides, I didn't want to take it for granted that a bike like this (long wheelbase, number of eyelets/braze-on, 650b wheel, rim brake) of good quality would be available 3-4 years down the road when I'm going to need it. Quite relieved that now the Appaloosa will be there in the stable anytime I'm up for a ride!! On Thursday, 3 August 2017 15:34:27 UTC-7, Ash [who works to bike] wrote: > > I have one up for sale.
