Ran the numbers on the frame setup and it would have been puuuurrrrfffect for me. I let it go. Bad move. I also passed up a great deal on a Peter Mooney, again..an offer made personally by the builder himself, and again I passed it up because I have always taken a perverse pride in being able to talk myself out of spending big chunks of cash. This talent always surfaces at the most inopportune times. Like the time in 1980 when I passed on a very nice '64 Corvette offered to me for 4K, because having $ in the bank felt better, and I could "always pick up a 'Vette..." Yeah...then 'Vette prices took off. 'Nuff said. You live and learn......sometimes.<br /><br />Regardless, my Chris Chance continues to soldier on. Best 900 bucks I ever spent.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Rick "Pain and Money" MoffatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-78099312059680312552010-06-12T09:15:00.425-07:002010-06-12T09:15:00.425-07:00a few years ago, Sachs only had a year wait, price...a few years ago, Sachs only had a year wait, prices were reasonable, and I had the money in hand. But when we started talking details, we hit a wall when I said I wanted eyelets. I didn't realize then that he considers such things tres gauche. So I didn't end up getting it. Of course I should've just gone ahead with it, instead of the many nice but not great bikes I bought instead. Many regrets in life. <br /><br />mwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
