holy hell i'm overwhelmed! PLEASE HELP!

[earthgirl]

okay so i went ahead and bought the bike from my friend because, like i said - it's the only thing i can afford, the final price was $250 plus 1/8 tank of gas.

So does it fit? I don't really know what an actual good fit is... so I can't say for sure. Edit: I lowered the seat, my feet are flat on the floor. (i previously said that my heal comes a 1/4 inch or less off of the floor...)

And this may be because I'm so heavy -but I noticed that when I stand on it, the tires flatten out a bit. Not completely, but more than I expected it to...

I haven't actually ridden it yet, so I don't know if this the case when I ride it.


***the reason I haven't been on it yet, is b/c there's a hurricane coming through and my friend's city is being evacuated. So I just picked up the bike from him and head out of dodge like the rest of the people. I'm going to ride it tonight :-)


i really can't say thank you enough to everyone on this thread. You seriously helped out a great deal. I wish I could have fixed up the Schwinn first, like so many advised... but it wouldn't fit in my car (the wheel can't come off b/c it's rusted over...). sad :-(. and I didn't want this trek to be gone by the time i figured out the cost of fixing the schwinn...

I gotta say though, everytime I glance over at the Trek... i fall in love a little bit...
