I say you’re nuts! If I had a Moots that fit and I loved I would be a happy man and likely ride (maybe even own) nothing else.

The only reason to not sell a kidney to get more bikes is that drinking is the #2 hobby.

I figured the overwhelming response would be I was crazy. And my guess is you folks are right. Especially since I have a like new EPS already. Silly what your favorite paint scheme can get you to consider selling! I appreciate all of the input. Thanks

The way I look at it... Are the one(s) that you are giving up harder to obtain then the one you are picking up, later down the road? May make a hard decision a little easier for you.

Yup, I have seen this before. You have a bad case of affluenza.

Probably harder to get the ones I would give up. Moots are pretty pricey and the Serotta is no longer made obviously. But a new, never built EPS in the Zabel scheme is definitely a rare bird too. Might be equally hard! My decision would be easy if someone would just buy that Zabel EPS!!!!

I love Colnagos and have had several of them over the years. However, I can't think of a single one of them that I would choose over my Moots if I could only have one bike.

How much do you ride that Rigormootis? Sounds like you're mainly on the road, so maybe that's one you should consider letting go.

is it that blue EPS? that is a nice color


I wouldn't sell the moots and the serotta for the Colnago but I would sell the serotta for the colnago (or the moots). 1 bike out, 1 bike in. 2 for 1 is not a good deal for you

Any interest in the Meivici?

I didn't get on the Rigor much this summer. Definitely a roadie at heart but not really considering selling the MTB because on occasion I like to hit the trails. And I would have to give it away since it's a 26er and those are obsolete now!!! As far as the Meivici goes, if I could get $2500 or so for the frameset I'd do it in a heartbeat. I doubt I could get that for it though, even though it has very few miles on it for a 2006. Serotta's seem to go for cheap here unfortunately. So I guess if someone is interested in it I would definitely entertain letting the Meivici go!! 2006 model, size 56. Cane Creek 110 headset, Parlee carbon front derailleur clamp. Could include the white Ritchey WCS -17 degree stem too as well as the white FSA seatpost. F3 fork is a 6.5 stiffness. Not sure the stiffness of the frame. Custom blue and white painted panels, silver logos. All painted logos. Matt
