well i will most likely get the bike anyway, ive decided since its been so hard to find something that actually fits, to not pass this up. its a trek 1000 road bike, 2006 (i'm a newbie to road bikes). its expensive but i think its worth it
($700)

I *love* my Trek 1000. My husband also bought a Trek 1000 and gave his old Trek 800 MTB to our oldest son. The bike store we settled on (actually found via word of mouth) is awesome and they get all of our business. They do not put their bikes on sale, yet I find their prices quite reasonable-example, my 2006 Trek 1000 was $650.

well, after calling everywhere and getting nowhere, i went back, and got the trek anyway. but their size was too small, and i'm glad i insisted they check the size even tho they were busy and didnt really want to, because it was too small. so i ordered the next size up, they did a no tax sale and added a water bottle, bottle cage, and one of those computers that tells you speed and distance. i'm satisfied, its what i really wanted anyway. i just had a feeling i needed the next size up. the hardest part now is WAITING!!!

oh, i forgot to mention this, but i'm not driving right now and i rode my other bike to the bike shop (an elektra cruiser) and left it parked in front of the store while i was in there, and its missing one of its handlebar grips. after finishing my business, i came back out to my bike to find a little tag around a new grip which said "have a new grip - the grip fairy"
i went back in and asked them who did that, and i suspect it was the weird guy who kept smiling at me who was in the back (i live in santa cruz, its very common for weird people to smile at you) i said thanks and i left. i dont know, its always those real little things that i remember most. i thought it was sweet.
