And I'm so excited! I'd been watching used Trek Pilots for awhile as I wanted a new road bike with a more comfort/upright geometry, as that is what seems to give me the least pain issue in the area where I fractured my pelvis back in '05. The more aggressive the position, the more pain I experience. I've been wanting another carbon roadie for quite awhile, and now that we're moving back to the US this spring, I will certainly get use out of it. Unlike in the past when I was working and could afford to drop over $2K on a bike, I'm now retired, so budget was a big issue. I just couldn't afford a new carbon bike, but a used bike in good condition is fine with me.

I'm going to have it delivered to my mom's house, so it will be there waiting for me when we get back stateside.

Check it out -- I just love the blue color, and the seller is a real sweetie. We've been corresponding back and forth on all sorts of things, and even though he doesn't have a lot of feedback, I think he's on the level. His wife seems to be exactly the same size as me, and this bike fit her well, but she preferred a more aggressive geometry, so ended up buying a new Madone. I think I got a great deal for full carbon/ultegra!

Hope this link will still work now that the auction is closed:

Happy dance!
