Road Cycling - Trek

See guys , I would take this bike happily of someone was to GIVE it to me :D and I would ride it with PRIDE........ :)
I am not ALL Bianchi, I do have other tastes :P
This is a SWEET bike.............

the problem with riding a bike like that is you HAVE to be pretty fast, or you just look silly going slow on the aero bars.

I can ride fast.... :D

Is it more important to ride fast or just like you're riding fast? ;)

I can ride fast.... :D

Unfortunately for you, you previously mentioned owning a carbon bike once upon a time. I've never riden one more than half a mile, with running shoes on, so I would a full page essay on the differences you observed between the carbon and your steel 'Bijanchis' :D ;) :) :rolleyes: :D

Oh c'mon mr bianchi.. we all know you only love bianchis :D :D

Besides, who would not take and ride a Trek TT bike if it were just given to you... provided it is the right size [and has DA components in my case.. :D ]

Anyway, nice bike... great bike... anyone want to give me one.. I love treks!!!! ;)

I can ride fast.... :D

You might not like the long wheel base :)

I remember a century ride i did a few years back. 750 riders, a complete loop in New Mexico, with a 9,000 foot climb to the finish (Red River Enchanted Circle)
I finished 51st riding solo (could have donr better but apx 3/4 thru I broke some rear spokes and had drag, couldnt maintain my avg speed, climbs with drag and decents had to use caution and sptints with friction) any ways i finished that ride in 4 hours and 45 mins...
What really impressed me was the guy who won, his name was Kent Bostick, he finished in just over 4 hours on his TT bike... Imagine what he could have done on this bike................. :D
Or if I would have had this bike I would have beat him LOL (yea right) :D

See guys , I would take this bike happily of someone was to GIVE it to me :D and I would ...

... sell it directly and spend the cash on a really nice bike :D

I would love to buy it, Problem is $$$$$
I wonder if someone here is independently wealthy and wouldnt mind giving me a loan, or claim to be a long lost relative and be willing to share poor great Uncle Bobs inheritance with me :rolleyes:

Of course, you would get a nice discount from me. ;) I wouldn't need the full value, anyhow, since my dream bike will end up a bit cheaper than this monster. :D

i'd love to get a TT bike, particularly this one (i'd change the bars and the components, though). BUT it's more of a priority to replace the aging steel schwinn roadie i'm on now. buying one $5000 bike is a lot to put the wife through. buying 2 might just make me not have a wife anymore!

Well, to be picky, there is no way you had a 9,000' climb to the finish. The pass near Red River, which I have climbed, is, as I recall, Bobcat Pass at something over 9,000'. Now elevation around there is pretty high, probably over 6,000' in the "low" spots so unless you all rode into a mine shaft and back out again, there is no way you had a "9,000' climb to the finish". Now I what I think you MEAN is that there was 9,000' of climbing in the century with an impressive climb at the end.

well whatever the climb, I thought it was 9, I could be mistaken, none the less ....
Red Rvier is an awsome ride, you go thru Taos, Eagles Nest and I do beleive Bobcat Pass. all I know it was one mutha of a climb back into Red River especially with rear broken spokes :eek:

Just wanted to Clarify that the enchanted circle century does have a 9,800' climb at the finish.
I thought I was right and had to double check.
