I had to sell the best mountain bike I've ever owned, this week. Unfortunately, now that we're in a bigger house (with a bigger mortgage) and we are a family, rather than a couple, I have to watch what I spend.
Becoming an Ironman is proving to be a wee bit expensive - swimming lessons, gym membership, wetsuit, race entries (very hefty for IM) and now, a new time trialling bike. It all adds up, so my
Ellsworth Truth had to go. The money will go to a
good cause though.
It was a lovely bike - it cost me a small fortune ("you could get a car for that!") a few years ago, and it instantly made me a better mountain biker. However, I have had 2 mountain bikes and the other one is newer and a bit more versatile (and heavier, unfortunately).
I'll probably decide I want to race mountain bikes in 2008, so I'll have to get another race-oriented full suspension bike!
