Buyer just collected Trek 69er. Loved it, but didn't ride it enough. What bike did you feel sad letting go?

You couldn't have loved it that much if you didn't use it much.

I felt a little sad when I left my Bontrager to crumble.
But v-brakes, 80mm sus and trek-era heritage meant that it didn't really have any value.

At the time, I'd just bought my dream bike, so it was a bit unloved.

I recently sold my Mount Vision - I know it wasn't the best bike in the world, but was my first proper bike from when I started riding again. We'd had many adventures and although I didn't ride it any more, I found it difficult saying goodbye. When the guy picked it up to take it away, I sheepishly said, "Oh, his name is Marvin by the way" he looked at me like I was a bit of a ****!

Didn't realise how much I loved it till it went.

05 Blur. Was either ditch the bike or the marriage. 🙄

Some bloke came up from London on the train to collect her. Said goodbye on the platform. It was like some black and white war time movie. But without the steam.

Don't look on retro bike for the prices they go for!

I wish I'd not sold my MSR.
I think that's the only bike i never changed anything on.
So far ahead of it's time.
The Alpinestars that replaced it was nowhere near as good.
