Hello my friends - I think I have a problem... Here is the scenario - I just sort of stumbled upon a very well preserved all rounder... nicely bespoke from the tweed bags to the twine wrapped chain stay, leather mud-guards and brass bell. I of course bought it because I couldn't resist :) I think it is a touch too small for me, but it is a really sweet bike.
Here is the problem: I commute by bicycle from the 'burbs to downtown Seattle. I ride in the rain, and I lock up my bike in the parking garage of a building full of people who are bound to deteriorate my beautifully lugged baby. I was actually shopping for a used Surly LHT (Sort of the same idea as a Riv, just without the class!) when this lovely bike crossed my path. So - I think I paid a pretty reasonable amount for the bike as equipped, but I am thinking maybe I should post it up for sale to someone who can treat her a bit better and buy a beater. I don't know what it is "really" worth or what data the community would need. (Pictures of course would help...) It has middling components in good condition but the frame etc. is nearly perfect. Or was when I parked it this morning :( So - I guess my questions are: about what is a 27" wheel all rounder well outfitted and good condition worth? Am I crazy? Should I just ride this thing and not worry about it? Anyone know a good "bike therapist"? Anyone want to give her a good home? (and buy it of course...) Thanks in advance for your comments.
