It is hard to let this one go. The Deuce was the first geared bike I ever bought. (way back while living in Pennsylvania) It made the trip to Colorado so I could ride with Funrover. Deucie had more than a couple rebuilds along the way and it served me well. Many memorable rides on this heavy old beast. Happy trails!!!

Bummer. I know how you feel, last year I gave my first "purchased" bike to funrover. I wasnt using it and I figured he would put it to good use one way or another...I still miss my bike!

Your bike belongs to a buddy in the springs. It is extremely well loved. Guy was having a hard time and wanted to bike with his family. no $$ so I gave it to him after fixing the rear shock issue!

That is so cool... Pass it on... We just did that with a bunch of Annika's toys (toddler age). They moved on to someone else to love and play with. No money exchanged...just pass it on...
