Default Beautiful Trek OLCV Y22 1998

You didnt happen to bring any Nordic women with you, cause damn that could
be a deal breaker.

Hi,

Since coming to Australia from Norway in 2001, bringing my Trek Y-22
bike with me, I've been able to do sweet f-all riding on it. Back home
in Oslo, Norway I was able to take out to the hills every once in a
while by just catching the tram --- the frame is just the sweetest
thing ever for those offroads.

Here in Melbourne CBD however I just find it too hard to get out to
anywhere exciting - whilst I've gotten a car that could do the
transport now, I never seem to find the time. In the three years I've
been here, I've been on a total of _three_ rides. And the last was
just around the neighbourhood... So it's just catching dust in the
garage...

My upgraded Gary Fisher Paragon 98 gets all the inner city transport
action, with city slick "combo" tyres (knobs on the wall)... I'm
thinking with the number of times I get out, I might just use the
Paragon if I get some new knobby tyres / wheels for when I wanna take
it out.

I am thinking it's too much of a shame to just let it catch more dust
in the garage. I'm also planning on upgrading my CBR250RR to a 2003
R6, so I'm considering to sell my sweet bike to put it towards that.

It's in very good condition, just a couple of chips from the transport
over from Norway - otherwise just perfect. The rear suspension is
adjustable from the handlebars, the frame geometry feels just perfect
for offroad hills / dirt trails.

Please see the following image:

(exactly as seen, however light system not included - it was stolen;
may they rot in hell...)

When I bought it, it cost 23 000 Norwegian kroner. That's $5348 at the
current rate of 4.3. I'm not sure what to expect, but there's a break
point of $2000 to $2500 where I wouldn't sell it and rather let it
collect more dust because I just so love the looks of it.

Feedback / words of comfort appreciated.

Thanks,
Jørgen
