I bought *another* bike frame. On ebay. Seems like ebay has been a den of sin (gluttony) for one such as me. Me being a nut about bikes. Mountain bikes. I see bikes or frames and think about how I'd build it. I need a nice bike. A "halo" bike as it were. I have quite a few bikes and each has their charm and features I like about them. Carbon comes to mind. Big wheels is another but 650b or 29er? I just had to wait for a good opportunity to come up. Which leads us back to ebay. I've been trolling ebay for just the right bike.
Then the other day, one came up. It was a Breezer Cloud 9 carbon HT frame. In a sweet looking black/white/green scheme and, more importantly, my size. The seller listed it with a reserve and it ended at around $700. The last bid didn't meet the reserve and didn't sell. A couple days later he re-listed it. This time without a reserve and he had it with a BIN option for $899. The retail is around $1800. It was a no brainer. Click-ity click on the "BIN" button and I done sinned again. But I'm happy. Now I can start thinking about how I'll build it. Hells to the yeah bitches!!!
