My new ride
 

http://www.trekbikes.com/images/bike...edium/2300.jpg

Picked up from a shop in Berkeley yesterday, took it for a 15 mile test run this morning. Crisp handling, smooth ride, 0-35mph in about 20 seconds.

Its a couple models down from the bike Lance rides. I could have gotten that one, but for my level of ability a $4,500 bike is overkill.. plus there are more mechanical/tuning issues at that level.

No, I don't shave my legs.

Liar ...

When does your lease expire?

Nice Trek you got there. Next March one of those pups will hang in my living room :Graucho

Them some tight ass bikes!
:thumbsup

I'd take the Cannondale. I don't like big, clunky looking bikes.. those tires add a shitload of weight in the last place you want it.. unless you are just planning on bombing down hills.

I've got an old cyclocross bike I use for the trails, something like this..

...but a tad more beat up. If you are going to be riding mostly flat, hardpacked dirt trails I'd consider one. They are much lighter, faster and easier to handle than an MTB, even fully suspended ones.

Those MTB's do look sweet tho! :thumbsup

not as tight as your S500 :winkwink:

:Graucho

hahaha, thats the way to do it in style :) A few ski places I know run their lifts in the summer for MTB'ers who like flying down hills. I gotta try it sometime!

Hey thats a nice Trek. I've been hanging to get out on my Treddly as its been very clunky after no service for 3 months, just dropped it in today for a service and will be out on it tomorrow for a 60k ride (can't wait). I've got a Specialized Compact with $750 wheels, can't remember the name but there kickass and glide perfectly.

OH btw, SHAVE your legs dude, you'll go faster :)

Damn

Funny shit....i just bought the Jekyll :thumbsup
awesome bike by the way!!

What sort of motors do they come with?

I have a bike, rode it once last spring. Felt like the seat was trying to rape my ass.

thats my babby. Except mine is black with yellow highlights. And i have last year's rear suspension setup. Much more sturdy.

Sunshine, did you buy it from that shop on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd?

Corner of Shattuck & University :)

hahaha, i understand that feeling. A pair of good shorts and a gel saddle will help, but it usually takes a week or two of regular riding to get used to a road racing saddle. After that its perfectly comfortable.

Missing Link ~ indeed :thumbsup
