Indy's final resting place

I love my bike Indy.  I named this blog after her.  I've said before that she has carried me to the moon and back.  But now, she's been replaced by an As Yet UnNamed (AYUN II - AYUN I was Scarlett) road bike.  With this crappy winter, I'd only ridden AYUN II once since I picked her up in early January, but I've ridden her three times in the last week and loved every minute of it.  She's so quick and responsive and light (a bit troublesome of this last weekend's windy ride)  and comfortable.  I expect that after this weekend's 60 miler, which will be the longest I've ridden her, I will have completely made the mental transition to her and away from Indy.  But not the emotional transition.

So I need to think of the most appropriate disposition of my beloved Indy.  I've thought of several options:

1. Take her to NZ and leave her there.  It'd be great to have a bike that fits me waiting for me, but there are several issues with this plan.  Primarily, maintenance.  She's 10 years old in September and her drive train, or parts thereof, will soon crap out and will likely crap out even quicker with no maintenance between visits.  And then it's an expensive proposition to put another drive train on her - especially in NZ.    Added to that, it's a burden to my parents to have to store her and besides - who knows where in NZ I'll need a bike the next time I'm there?
2. Convert her to something else - a touring bike or a fixie.  Let's be realistic.  It's more $$ and time that I don't have, plus I don't imagine I'll be reaching for Indy over AYUN II when we go on our bike tour in 2015.  And Baby is plenty fine as a commuting bike, so I don't really need a fixie except for hipster points and I suspect the fact that I'm wearing a helmet will out me as a square anyway.
3. Donate her to someone on the team who need a bike.  But … will the recipient be Worthy?  Will she love Indy like I have?  Clean and lube her regularly like I have?  Thank her after a good ride?  Pat her yellow beak aerobars with affection?  Will she love cycling in general?  And triathlon?  Or will she use her for one season and leave her neglected in a shed for the rest of her natural life?  And what if I don't like the person I give her to?  What if she's stupid or annoying or has values I don't agree with?  Too stressful.
4. Donate her to Phoenix Bikes.  Maybe this is the best option.  They'll treat her with care, give her the spa treatment she deserves, then she'll go to someone who deserves a good, steady bike, or can't afford much, and the charity will get some $$ for her.  And I know that some good Ironman magic will always be attached to Indy, and that will transfer to whoever rides her in the future.

Man, this is hard.
