Snow and freezing temps. Folks in the middle portion of the US, my apologies. I go out and purchase a new bike, and this is what happens. ;) :mad:

My old bike is a heavy low-end mountain bike, which I have equipped with Michelin city tires. My new beater!

My new (and first) road bike is a Trek 2300, pictures to follow.

The new one. Stock with shorter stem and Speedplay X/2 pedals.

Wow! That is a real step up in rides. Enjoy.

I have been riding hairy legged through the winter here in Colorado because we had great weather (Greeley area) and I figured that if I shaved it would certainly bring the snow. I wasn't prepared to take the blame.

The 2300 jumps to a 63 cm, rather than 62. But you're right, it's the big one.

Awesome bike you bought!! I also like the phone book get-up you use for your trainer. I thought I was the only one who did that!!!
