AIDS Life Cycle -- first time!

[Trek420]

What bikes have you tried so far? What did you like/dislike about them?

Consider some of the "smaller" brands; Kona, LeMond, Marin, Jamis oh the mind boggles, so many bikes, so little time ;-)

+1 on the triple.

My namesake a Trek 420 was stolen right before I registered for my first ALC. I had to replace the bike, went full custom. But you don't need to, you do need a bike that fits you.

I may ride again in '09 and am considering a Surly LHT or their cross bike for what would be my 6th ride.
