Since the jersey was such a good deal, I figured another idea was in order. So, being me, I started racking craigslist for ideas weeks ahead of time. Pete has been wanting a new bike computer, and I found a sweet Garmin listed for a fraction of the price.....almost brand new.
Then, of course, Pete mentions again how nice it would be to have a newer bike. So I thought...hmmm...I wonder what I can find on craigslist. Found a sweet Felt that had only been used for <50 miles. Talked the guy into selling it for practically nothing. It had been sitting around for 2 years and he just wanted to get rid of it. SOLD!! :)
Pete was stoked. We were able to sell Pete's old bike on craigslist for way more than we thought.....which made the new purchase even cheaper! Pete was sad to see it go, though. It was a great bike!

wow peter! You sure do have a nice nice wife!
Okay wow! What a Valentine's Day! I would say Pete totally made out like a bandit! I can't wait to go riding with you guys. I LUV the jersey.
You are seriously the Craig's List Queen! I need to take lessons from you. :)
I'm amazed at your bartering ability! I always seem to have to pay full price. I'll have to talk to you sometime about how to do craigslist! Wonderful pictures you are both so photogenic! We'll be down the April 15 to 21st. If you can, save a lunch time or a dinner time sometime that week for us. Luvgrma
Great ideas, but I thought from the title this was going to be about what Pete did for you for Valentine's Day! The pressure's on him for next year ...
