I don’t use my carbon XC HT… certainly not for the use it was designed and the kids bike is expensive so I decided to dismantle and sell/reuse…
It’s seen more use on the school run (half paved) than trails recently and had a tear in a tyre that wouldn’t fix so I pulled it apart… cut down the bars for the kid… pulled the rear internal brake… and removed front brake and shifters…
I can’t help feeling I owed it a proper ride again (not the school run) … kinda a thanks and goodbye… and whilst fully realising its a bit on inanimate carbon fibre I feel strangely sort of like it should have been put out to pasture like a faithful old horse?
Anyone else feel a wrench getting rid of an old unused steed… or do I just need psychiatric help.
Perhaps I should have done this when I got the new bike..???
