Well I thought it was time to post a pic or two of my new bike. I lurked here for a while, gathering information and inspiration from everyone here.
On April Th I went to my LBS armed with the knowledge I got here bought a 2007 Trek 7.2 FX. I have also added a Trek Incite computer, seat bag with a patch kit and inflater, bar ends, grips, and just today good old fashion toe clips. I really wasn't ready for clipless, but man having my feet attached to the pedals made a big difference.
I have 166 miles on it since I bought it and I love it. Started this quest to get into some kind of shape back on January ST when I took my 9 year old daughter ice skating and thought I was going to die. 5'11"
261 lbs, and 46 years old I was in bad shape. Thanks to some weight lifting and know my bike I am down to 222 lbs.
I guess the point of this thread is just to thank everyone here for getting me going. Reading your posts has helped me tremendously.
Thanks.
