After many months of holding my balls on the chopping block, someone finally grabbed the knife. That's right, my baby finally sold.

I only had the joy of owning her for a little over a year, but that was some of the most fun I've ever had.

4 round trips between Colorado and Michigan and she never once missed a beat. Seriously the biggest problem I had the entire time was an exhaust leak that I caused when I swapped the up-pipe. I'll miss her more than I probably should, I'll pick up another ASAP though.

For now, meet her replacement! Had to get something to get to work.

Kinja'd!!!

Yup... A bike. But a nice bike. A bike that deserves a name. Let's hear it, what should her name be? Oh and always remember, the world is flat.

Very close, 7.2. This is my first venture into the bike works, knew I wanted a hybrid to start on though.

Gotta get rid of that kickstand man. Add lightness. But really one day you will realize it is more of a liability than it is worth. I would name it Philip McTumblechips. Or Dullahan (Nobody will get the particular reference there).

Is another car in your near future? Sorry to hear that you had to sell it though.

Not surprising really. Even if they weren't so nice to rife they'd still probably be easily the best looking bike there.

Nice bike - I just bought my girlfriend a 7.3 to start riding on. Trying to get her to join me on some longer rides. I ride a Jamis Satellite from c.2008 with a couple bolt-ons.

best looking commuter* bike. roadies and the hardcore downhillers are the best looking bar none.

Some people call it Maurice, because it speaks with the pompatus of bike.

More seriously, Antoinette (roman numeral number of speeds).

Roomba AND an upright vac... yet dat carpet! Are you doing engine swaps in there?

All depends. I've thrown around the idea of snagging an 08ish Jetta GLI or an older RS but the more I think about it the more I kinda want to just hoard my cash until next summer begins. Then I should have a better paying internship going and a bit of money to drop up front.

Nope. Now it has to me Maurice. Do you see what you've done?!

I see what I've done, but I'm not sure what it is - thus, I am afraid.

Cool. I have a 7.2 also. I like it, but my pedals got bent out of shape when I got crashed into during a bike race.

The feels are hitting me hard. I sold my LGT about 13 months ago and I don't still think about it without a day going past
