The weather has been hot, particularly for this time of year. But that's not the reason Helene is stripped.
I confess: I stripped her.
Why would I do such a thing to a pretty Miss Mercian? It's not for maintenance: I haven't been riding her lately.
Actually, I took off all of her parts for that very reason: I haven't been riding her. But don't worry: I'm not leaving her exposed.
She's getting ready for a journey.
First I have to put her in a box. Then she'll be on her way.
A year after I acquired Helene (in the photos below), I found Vera, my other (green, twin-tube) Miss Mercian. I've been riding that one quite a bit, as you know if you've been reading this blog a while.
So...Helene, it's nothing personal. You're a great bike. But you shouldn't have to compete with Vera or any of my other bikes--or anyone or anything else (all right, except for Max and Marlee). So, I'm sending you off to someone who will give you the attention and good times you deserve.
Yes, I've sold her. I'd been thinking about doing that for a while. Finally, I found someone who will appreciate her and understands why I'm selling her.
Actually, the fact that I hadn't been riding her isn't the only reason I've sold her. I'll soon tell you another reason why.
