you girls have done it now

Glad you found one you liked! Get it back to the shop, should be a pretty quick fix. If I wasn't going to KC this weekend, I'd say let's meet up and ride! Can't wait to see it. Do I see a Katy trail ride in our future?

I'd love to try katy trail. There is a ride coming up nov 3 at clydesdale county park "hike it or bike it at clydesdale county park", distance "up to" 18 miles. I just saw it on the internet, no other details, I think part of the ride goes on Grant's trail.
hope they can fix it!

I'm sure they can fix it....and they'll be pretty red faced about it as well...
they could be liable for such things...

When I got home I took it off and had to ride it. I've got a quarter mile walking trail around the perimeter of my property, so I rode. It's mostly flat, but has a short steep drop off what used to be a pond bank. It was great to be able to ride up that little steep hill.

Oh Vickie, if the cyclocross girls read this, there gonna come looking for you!!!

You're going to have so much fun on this bike, I can tell already. Congrats!!!

thanks everyone for all the support in my brief bike hunt. I am in love with this bike. I brought it to work (on my new hitch mount bike rack), with plastic bags over it because it was raining all day. At lunchtime I took it to the bike shop; before I took it in I rode in light rain for 20 minutes, but the handlebars did not budge, of course. I left it there for the afternoon to get checked out anyway. AFter work (I snuck out early because the rain had stopped ) I went to the bike shop and picked it up. The bike shop is out by chesterfield airport, and is very flat. There's lots of wide two lane roads and bike lanes, so I rode for 30 minutes. It was so much fun, that bike can really fly. I could have kept going, but had a little boy to pick up. I need to put my cycle computer on it. I don't have fenders, but didn't get splashed today much without them.

I'm so glad you are happy! Those hitch mounts are handy, aren't they? I use mine all the time. What color is it? Better yet, can you post a pic? Have a good time riding this weekend. It should be a beautiful ride with the leaves changing!

I'm hoping these attachments will come through- I don't know how to put photos in the posts (it asks for URL of the photos- they are in a folder on my computer, and I've never been able to figure that out).
One is a photo of my trek and the other of my pink bike.

That pink bike is cute, but I bet you pedal yourself to death on it. Your Trek is beautiful! You are going to love it. They got the handlebars all fixed?

Nice doggie guarding the new bike.

My DH has the same Trek bike (but 25") and he loves it....we went on a 15 mile ride today and he just spins happily along....
