Hey Howard...

 

Have you tried listing this on Crazyguyonabike.com?  It's where I bought my Waterford and it seems like bikes can sell there if theyre priced right.  And I definitely think your bike is priced right.

Many thanks for the tip, Paul!


Which Waterford did you end up with? How do you like it?

It's a 1900 touring bike.  Love it!  The only thing I can complain about is one of the S&S kept loosening on Ragbrai.  I just made a habit of checking it every day.  Good luck with your sale.

Was this the bike I saw at the Pulaski Park Swap Meet in Feb.?

Haven't followed in a long time but I think the 1900 was billed as an "Adventure Bike?"


Glad you like it!

Yup.  Every 6 months or so I decide to put a little effort into selling it :-)


Got a new housemate who's been subtly bugging me about clutter . . . I need to reinforce that so he doesn't stop .  .
