When I first picked up Barney in late 2003, he told me that if I ever decide to sell, let him have first dibs. I looked at him and said I'm not in the market of buying and selling, I got it so I could enjoy it. The only time i'd ever get rid of it would be a castastrophic event. I guess barney's time has come. No it didn't go up in a blaze of glory, but go out as true warrior it
did. An event few weeks back compromised the frame bad enough that I
decided it wasn't worth fixing.
