This was my loyal commuter/crosser/racer/trainer/pleasure bike... 'Twas my life for quite some time. She just couldn't take the stress anymore, and after countless flat tires, over 24 broken spokes across 3 rear wheels and 1 front wheel, 3 chains, 2 bottom brackets, countless saddles, and many bar tape jobs, she was laid to rest outside of my Gresham home.
It was a small service. Only myself and my Fiance Showed. She was a proud cycle, reliable(somewhat, which wasn't her fault.) commuter, and a friend. This bicycle will be remembered forever.
This is a memorial for those of you who have ridden your poor, beloved cycles to death.
