Just looking for bar ends for my 7.2FX....

Yep, the roadie bug bit me :eek: I am getting ready for BRAG lite this week, and noticed the longer I ride, my hands get numb. So I went to the LBS for bar ends, thinking that I would add them on to get through the ride this week. I didn't know "these" could be so expensive! :o After 5 LBS's and multiple bike rides on road bikes, I left the store with a LeMond Alp d' Huez WSD! SWEET! Of course my justification is that it was on sale! The guys at FreeFlite pointed me at a sub-division and said "enjoy the test ride", knowing I would be pleased with the result. For 5'7", I was surprised how much more comfortable the WSD geometry is. So if you see a "plump tomato" on a LeMond this week, It's me!

ooh that is nice. Now you can have a sturdy commuter and a bike for those long roads and club rides. Great that you are instantly comfortable on it.

LOL but I think you got your money's worth, that's a great looking bike. Have fun and enjoy all those hand positions!

That looks a lot like my Pilot. Is it a 2007 model?

I just looked at the specs. You probably have a slightly better grade aluminum in the frame and you have front Ultegra (Pilot 1.2 is Tiagra)
You've got to get rid of that Bontrager saddle, though.

Boy...those WERE expensive bar ends!! :eek:

Very nice ride. Have fun, and many happy miles......

Yep, I heard the bikes calling. Thanks for the advice on the saddle, Zen. It got replaced with the Terry off my hybrid. The hybrid has a Serfas on it now. Bontrager was not nice to me in the rash dept previously. I also moved my clipless over temporarily till I can get another set in the right "color"! :D

I quickly took her for a spin this afternoon - all I can say is Yeah Baybee! I hope I am saying that after 50 miles this week.

I also looked at a Pilot. But it was a bit unfair, as I was unable to try one in a similar size.

Happy trails!

p.s. it's a 2007.
