Trek Pilot

[mary9761]

I have been lusting after a Trek Pilot 1.2 WSD myself lately. I have so far test rode the Trek Pilot 1.2 flat bar recently and it was a sweet ride. I had thought about the flat bar and adding bar ends since that is how my Navigator is set up, but I still want to try the WSD with drops. She is Lava Red and has already told me her name - Pele. She's ready to BURN UP THE ROAD! Now if I can just figure out a way to bring her home. I haven't been able to test specifically the WSD with drops as they don't have any in stock right now, but the 20 mile test ride I got on the flat bar was nice. I did have trouble with the thumb shifters on the left though so I don't know if it was me or the fact that it wasn't WSD. I really want this bike!!

My saga continues..... Yesterday, I went to the bike shop near my home and practically had to beg for service. I ask for a measuring tape. They found one, gave it to me and went back to working in the shop. I will not buy a bike from these people!!!

Today I went to the shop that has good service about one hour away. When I asked if he could get in a Trek Pilot and a Trek Pilot WSD in my size, he said this would not be possible as all Trek Pilots are considered high-end bikes even the 1.2. and if I didn't buy the bike, he could not sell it in his store as peopel in that area do not have the money for Pilots. I was a bit disappointed!! He did however direct me to another shop in Pittsburgh (2 - 2 1/2 hours away from where I live and told me this was my best bet if I wanted to test ride a bike before I buy it. How can you buy a bike without testing it out first? Am I living on Pluto or something? How can you girls find all these bikes to test ride?
