2005 Trek 2100 WSD 51cm

Yes, the 43 and 47 came with 650's. I think they are more proportional. I like my little bike!

Cusepak in Miami has the same bike, too. I wonder how she's doing, haven't heard anything for a while.

It's a great bike, and very pretty. Lava Red and Pearl White. A nice sprinkling of carbon. I have almost 3000 miles on Lava, and she has not had one mechanical problem. Still on her original tires and chain. I _did_ have the derailleurs adjusted a couple weeks ago, but the brake cables don't seem to have stretched, so I left them alone.

Nanci -

Still loving my bike Nanci I haven't been around as much as of late as I first suffered a groin injury at the beginning of the year. As soon as I healed from that, my lower back flared up - degenerative problem so it's something I've dealt with for a long time. Anyway, haven't been able to ride as much and am a step or two behind in my training this year. Oh, and inasmuch as I've tried to live vicariously through all the riders here while I was down, I just didn't have the heart to post. Isn't it just amazing how much we love to ride and when we can't it's as if our world has just fallen apart.

Oh Nanci, while I'm here, did you change out your stock pedals? If so, what did you replace them with. I've yet to change mine out, but am looking at Speedplays, but not sure if I like the size of the platform. I'd like a platform that's a bit bigger but I've read rave reviews on the Speedplays. Any thoughts?

Hey Katherine,

I put the stock pedals on my MTB/Road/Beater GT bike, ('cause I couldn't get those black platform things off, then decided they might be ok for street shoes, anyway!) and put some old very similar Shimano 747's on the Trek. My good MTB has the better Shimano 959's on it. I get along really well with Shimano SPD MTB pedals. That's all I ever used, so maybe I don't know any better. I have a pair of road shoes, but don't like how slick they are, so never wear them. I have the identical pair of Sidis in MTB shoes that I _LOVE_.

One of the great advantages of the SPD's is the double-sided clip in (I love the feature), and I know I may have to give that up with replacing my pedals. Decisions, decisions!!

What version Sidi's do you use? MY LBS sells Sidi's and they've been at me to try a pair on. My problem is, I have a wide foot. I've even thought about trying on men's. Right now, I'm in Nike's but I want to upgrade my shoes and pedals. Perhaps just new shoes might make a difference as opposed to shoes and pedals.

Hey, I wanted to congratulate you on your accomplishments since getting Lava. I've been watching your progress and you as well as others here have really stepped it up a notch and you should be very proud of yourself. It's wonderful to read about such enthusiasm and unconditional love for cycling from some super women Keep it up girl.

Doc,
What are you asking for this? Can you post a picture?

Nanci -

What size Sidi's would you need? I also have a very wide foot. I am currently in men's Dominator 5's size 40. Unfortunately, I need just a little more width on my right foot. If you are interested, please pm me and I'll give you more specifics.

Thanks,
Traci
