I assume this is an attempt to have a dig at me?
Not that I need to respond to your post, as you know nothing about me or what is happening in my private life, but after discussing the situation with my partner, this bike was bought as an investment to allow me to get a second job in the evenings, on top of my full time day job. This second job was supposed to pay the loan for this bike in 3 months and then allow me to continue funding the work on Black Rainbow Project through working both jobs. It also replaced my track bike which I then sold, around the same time that I sold studio equipment that took me years to get and basically anything I could sell without affecting the things I do.
I was working 12 hour days 5 days a week on this bike, right until the corona virus meant I lost my full time job. I now ride it 5 days a week doing my second job, as well as occasional work for a friend of a colleague...which is about the only thing keeping me sane right now while I continue to sell more of my studio equipment and bike parts to cover the rent.
This bike was an investment which was putting me on track to solving my financial troubles and keep funding BRP without relying on the generosity of others. I haven't posted on this thread in 5 months or asked anyone for financial help.
I was hoping I could post something that makes me happy for a change without some prick pouncing on me to drag me back down again...seems I was wrong.
