    I rode about 2.5 miles, so not very far. The lowering of the seat post made for great stops and starts, but for poor riding since I wasn't maximizing my position on the bike. My legs were immediately cranky and wanting to get more stretch and strength out of every pedal stroke. Glad I got out there though.

    Those Electras are pretty darn nice. If I went that way, I'd have to do a road trip to try one, but I think it would totally be worth it. However, I would like to give the LBS business because they are so fabulous to work with and I support what they do and want them to stay. They sell Trek. But until I sell the Friday, there is not much I can do in any respect.

    MTA: And yeah, this PF is just a total PITA. I would have NEVER thought a year ago when I got it that I would still have it now. But, it is what it is, I suppose.

    But I should add that the Trek Pure Bikes only go up to 7 speeds. I might like something with more gears, so shopping locally may not be the way to go.
