HHHMMMMMM....should I?























Although riding around on 'Blackie' has been/is good fun it is a little small for my legs, well it is actually a ladies 22" frame and I'm nearing 6". At times the handlebars knock on my knees on tight turns, my riding boots a.k.a cowboy boots hit the curb and scuff. So I'm considering a slight variation which I know may upset some people, but I have to be practical!

I'm thinking along the lines of a Mens 24" Indian, with headlight and parcel rack. It will be black of course in loving memory of Blackie. I will have to re-name it.....maybe I could just drop the 'e' and call it 'Blacki Jr Esquire II'.

I'll be selling Blackie on eBay along with my Mountain bike, just to be able to afford the newbie.

Although it's always sad to loose an old friend, maybe an upgrade is in order so you can wear your cowboy boots in comfort. And I do like your choice.

if it's from a certain bicycle shop in a certain beach side suburb south of the yarra, don't get one. They rust and are of a very poor build quality! Better off spending $$ on an old restored beauty… trust me!
