Well after my 25 year old Centurion, I experienced the Trek Pilot 2-1 today on a ride. First time I have ridden a newer technology road bike and oh my I didn't want to come back. I couldn't believe it. It was like a feather and the new shifting oh dear, sweet sweet sweet. Of course I always do this kind of thing and now ask if I have $ 1200.00 for a new bike. NO. But the 46 cm fit me to a tee. I am thinking of selling my Rans Tailwind (01) to help start raising the money. I'll still lack about 700.00. Let's see do any of you want to see an older but very foxy girl sing and dance? wOULD Love to hear from anyone else who has ridden this bike and also know if you have any ideas on how to sell my Rans recumbent. Oh well...I guess I could go in every week in disguise and ride it for 10 minutes.... SIGH
