Surprised to learn that my bid was accepted…

And my stable of bikes has grown.
I guess I should be careful about what I bid for on EBay. I didn’t even expect to get taken seriously. Now I just hope that I’m not being taken advantage of?!
I’ve wanted a Yeti since I was a teenager (14/15) but they were just too expensive and I had a great deal on a Specialized S-Works team bike that was about the same price as the Yeti I coveted but I was able to get it for about half of the store price because I worked in the bike shop and I earned my discount by doing the boring stuff like breaking down cardboard boxes and the minor repairs like changing out tubes and tires and adjusting brakes and derailleurs for customers who didn’t want to get their hands dirty.

My ex boss was a keen cyclist. He used to say there was a formula for how many bikes you need of:

Bikes needed = n+1

Where n is the number you currently have.

@Lugwho Yep N+1 is the way I see it too!!
This will be the 6th bike once I get it built to ride. I have 3 other unfinished project bikes too but this one is going to take precedent over the other unfinished ones. 🤓
