Part of me's saying fair enough - it's money in the bank that I wouldn't have had otherwise. The other part is wondering what the hell happened. Ok so it wasn't brand spanking, but it was in fantastic condition, and the Primo cranks alone cost me £130 new. The worst thing is how many people have messaged me after saying they forgot the auction was on and would have bid way more than that.
It's not so much the money - just that I've got so many memories of that bike and probably would have kept it if I knew it was going to go for so little. That and the fact I've just got rid of a part of my past that just didn't give a fuck - now it's all suits, commutes and mortgages.
Maybe I should go and set something on fire for some self-affirmation...
