End of an Era - Farewell Downhill...

The downhill season has just about ended. Sad to say, neither Brian nor I have so much as tried on our downhill helmets or gear...

Busy weeks and busier weekends, combined with our desire to get our 29" single-speeds (our beautiful Gary Fisher Rigs) into the mountains left very little time to pack up our downhill gear and make the long (traffic-laden) trek Nagano.

So we made a difficult decision - we have just placed our downhill bikes (my red Santa Cruz Bullit (my Skype name) and Brian's GT DHi) on the Japan Yahoo Auction.

They're not exactly new bikes, but we hope to make a sale just the same.

Brian is also selling a Manitou Sherman Slider fork. Our auctions can be seen here:

With my newish interest in "digital scrapbooking"(an admittedly nerdy hobby) , I put this little memorial together:

YOu are such a geek! I mean that in a good way. :)
Sacrifices must be made for a better future. If you aren't using the equipment it is better that someone who really wants it and will use it gets their hands on it. Tough decision but better for everyone in the long run.

Somebody will be very happy to have that beautiful Red Bullit!
Nice memorial.
