I’m starting to consider donating this to Phoenix Bikes or similar worthy cause, because (a) I’m not using it, and (b) I’d really like if someone did, instead of it sitting in my apartment and rusting. The countdown begins!

Short people have all the luck…

Oh wait, I don’t need another bike.

I’ve eagerly asked my wife if she wants me to build her a road bike. I doubt I’ll get the answer I want.

I know, right?

I’ve toyed with the idea of giving the frame a second shot and building another bike, but I’m pretty sure I’m at s-1 right now, and don’t want to push my luck.

I’d almost think about it as the basis for an older kids’ bike, but had better stop.

$75? Not that I’m cheap or anything.

Sorry, this leaves me either in a fair business deal or total altruism, and 75 is neither, no?

Sure, I can see how donating it to a worthy charity would be of more value to you than my offer. Fair enough, Phoenix will put it to good use.

But I could pretty easily buy a complete bike of similarly good but not particularly notable vintage for $50 more than you’re asking for your frame set.
