I feel like I sold a piece of myself today.
Right out of college I worked two summers in a bike shop.
While I was there, I bought this Japanese Raleigh frame. Built it up with parts from the shop, originally with sew-ups rims I laced myself, but eventually I replaced them with a pair of Nashbar wheels. I've had that bike about 30 years. Probably haven't ridden it in 20. The guy who bought it aired up the tires and I think he rode it home. Maybe I should have warned him about the 20 year old tires.
The occasion was a fund raiser for my former middle school after school bike program. I brought 5 bikes, sold 2, avoided buying another one. I suppose I'll try craigslist again for the other 3.
