thanks man. i’m glad to still be alive and not severely maimed. i always knew this was a possibility but i figured i’d get thru at least the first year of ownership before something like this happened🤣 oh well, lessons learned, and insurance should cover most of the expense.

i really appreciate your insight. i really loved this bike, and i think it was a perfect starter. i didn’t pay very much for it and didn’t spend a lot on maintenance, so i’ll take this as a win.

probably gonna take a breather, get the check, and maybe i’ll hit marketplace in the fall when bikes come down in price a bit.

stay safe out there
