Subject: [CR] Stray Dogs, Stray Cats, and Stray Bikes


This year's New Year resolution was to stop buying bikes. And finish at least one project.

To do that, I had to get rid of a few frames that were in the way. So I sold them cheap ... to fixed/single speed types. And let go of a stash of so-so parts.

My wife was happy for about a week, because for some reason the bikes piled up faster than I could get rid of them:

Raleigh Gran Prix, Bridgestone MB-3, Marin MTB, Peugeot UO-8, BSA/Raleigh, ... I seem to be sliding farther and farther backwards.

And I'm the one who laughed at my wife's friend who saved stray dogs and an aunt who feeds stray cats.
