I did this with the Charlie Gallop - I sold it to a friend, then a few months later after I noticed they were dragging their heels on building it up and me feeling a hole where my Charlie once was, offered to buy it back - which worked out. Then I rode it a few more months, realized it was entirely overlapping other bikes I have, so I sold it a second time but this time to someone far enough away I couldn't casually buy it back.
When I bought the Charlie back I put my Crust Wombat up for sale because I only had room for one of them - thankfully it didn't sell because it's probably my favourite bike now (and gets more mileage than any other).
