My rear derailleur decided it was going to pull a Regan and forget about two gears, so I dragged the bike down to the LBS to have it adjusted. I'm okay with taking apart most of my bike, but derailleurs still scare me; probably because this is (currently) my only bike, and if I had to be for more than a few days without riding, I'd go nuts.
Anyway; while I was there, I grabbed a Trek 2200 road bike and rode it around the block for a test ride. I have one word: Schweet.
I want. Makes my Crossroads feel like a Chevy Suburban, and Shimano's integrated-shifter thingamabobber is great beyond words. Riding my "utility" bike (e.g., the Crossroads is ridden through wet weather, dry weather, falling frogs...) is fun and all, but a good road bike on a good road is an experience that can't even be described...
