I'm selling my first "real" bike today!

:-( I just finished wiping it down so it looks good for the girl that is going to buy it tonight.

This was the first big bike purchase that I've made. It got me through numerous sprints, 2 olympics and 2 70.3s. We'be been through a lot together, both good and pain, joy and heartache.

I didn't think I'd be so sad to send her on the next person.

But on the other hand I'll have $600 cash in my pocket this evening!

Now the only question is:
Will you save or spend that money? If you spend it, what will be your next big purchase?

[joenali]

I'd like to buy a pair of prescription sports sunglasses. My insurance only covers a small portion of the $400 glasses that I want. The rest I will probably save.

It's always sad to get rid of bikes. I'm selling my Batavus tomorrow night, and I am sad about it, even though that thing is a beast and too much of a pain to bring up and down stairs.

Do you or your H have a medical FSA through work? If I was going to go the Rx goggle/sunglass route, I can use my FSA $ on it, and save just a little.

No FSA. It will cover the lens piece that snaps into the sunglass frame. It will not cover the frame of the sunglasses because my insurance doesn't cover Rudy Project sunglasses, only the prescription lens. It's really confusing!!

[Susie]

How weird. wtf would you do with the lens without the frame!?

[joenali]

Rudy project has the prescription lens snap on top of the sunglass lens. Does that make sense?

[sadlebred]

Awwww...at least the bike is going to a good home. Enjoy the $600!!
