Zaky’s Bike Sold

When Zaky outgrew his kiddish Trek mountain bike quite some years ago, we bought him a 2nd hand Triban 100 hybrid bike. He was still fairly little at that time and was barely tall enough to handle the XS bike. It was a decent buy for $100. 

Over the years, he rode it occasionally. Initially, only during family rides, which are really rare, to riding more frequently in the last 2 years with his classmates. He has definitely outgrown the bike in the last few years but he insisted that he liked the bike and that it is ok. I bet he looked like a circus bear on a bike. Lol. 

Zaky still insisted that we keep the bike even when Daddy Lim passed him the roadie. Sadly, he only rode on the roadie once but that doesn’t change the fact that he is now too big for the hybrid. 

Both Zaky and Nana’s hybrid bikes are kept in the corridor and they are collecting dust. With the impeding move, I have decided that we will let go of Zaky’s hybrid. He didn’t object. 

I listed it on Carousell for $70. There are other Triban 100 listed at a higher price. 

There were queries almost immediately, asking on condition, etc. Sold! $70! 

The bike is seriously in a super dusty and dirty condition. Daddy Lim pumped up the tires, cleaned up the bike a little. There were quite some scratch marks. The buyer didn’t complain. Heng ah.

It is such good deal, to think that we had it for so many years and the depreciation is $30. Hoho. Daddy Lim is also happy bcos the buyer PayLah him and he pocketed the proceeds. Hoho. 

As I was looking through the blog for information of our cycling journey, I saw this.

I cannot help but make Zaky do this. 

Hohoho.
