Hi. I have a Trek 7500 that I've had since early May. I love my Trek hybrid. I upgraded the saddle to a better Bontrager and put on some clipless pedals (Bebop). I've also installed a Cateye double wireless computer to keep track of stuff and, bottom line, I'm digging it!
The roadies in my neighborhood blow by me, but I know they're not having any more fun than I am.
Welcome to cycling, my friend and nice ride!
