Yes, another Trek-head to add to the mix!! I'm very excited and have already begun my search for gear. I'll get fitted for me new helmet local, but may end up ordering that online as they are soooo much cheaper. The price mark-up locally is incredible, but I understand that's where all the money is, as well as tune-ups, etc.

My Jamis Cruiser has tiagra and actually, it has a tendency to "flutter" in gear when I try shifting - feels like it's between two gears. It's very annoying and although I've taken good care of the bike as far as maintenance, it still happens.

Few questions . . . where do you buy your gear? I've looked at Performance Bike, Longcycle (they have great jersey prices), Nashbar, World Cycling - quite a few actually, but I'd like to stick with one or two sites so I'm not all over the board, so to speak, looking for my orders.

Nanci, I reside in Miami, where, for the past week or so it's been reaching 105-110. The heat is incredible - and with those big fat tires on my cruiser, my legs are toast by the end of my ride. But you know what, I love it!!!!

Oh, and by the way, one jersey I'm investing in is the Disco jersey - I don't consider myself a poser, but I really like the jersey - saw it in the LBS and love the material.
