I happened to be driving past my favorite bike shop on the way to see my son at work. This bike was sitting outside amongst the used ones. I didn't have any intention of buying a new bike this year, but it really fit me, after they changed out the stem for a shorter one. I test rode it and while I was out I called hubby and told him he better call me back soon if he wanted to keep me from spending $500. He didn't call me back in time.
Still making adjustments on the saddle and getting used to the more stretched out position, plus braking in the different hand position.
I've been riding my mountain bike on the road. My new bike is faaaaast.Yay!
*Oh, it's a 2006 Trek 1000.

I bought the same bike 3 months ago and I love her! Don't you just love the color? I think she's a very pretty bike. And I agree...fast too!
Really the only thing I've had any issue with is the front brakes. I just switched to Kool Stop pads and I'm getting a complete new front brake set-up for free from Trek (there's a thread in Bike Maintenance with details if you're interested).
Enjoy!!!!
