Oops I did it again! (new bike)

[Trek-chick]

Well, many of you know I was working at my local Trek shop this season. They offered us 1 bike per year at their awesome discount. A few weeks ago they changed this rule to 2 bikes per year per employee. The only rule was it had to be a different type of bike. Road vs Mountain etc. I already got an awesome dual suspension mountain bike earlier in the year so, I decided to pick up a new road bike.

How can a girl resist.

The thing is I already have a nice 10speed road bike (Trek Lexa) BUT I saw the Lexa in Purple Lotus color and it HAD TO BE MINE!!!!!! It is a 1016 Lexa C (8 speed drivetrain) I know, I know......... I have a better bike already -- why go from a 10speed to 8 speed drivetrain??

Maybe it's the artist in me but, the color spoke to me. It is gorgeous!! and I can always upgrade the drivetrain later on if I want. I did get a fantastic deal on it.
