I just put $500 down on my first road bike (of what I hope will be many more in the future)! I decided on the Trek 2300. I took a test ride this afternoon, and I couldn't believe how much different it was from my 7500FX! I felt like I was flying! The drop-down handlebars are great, and the damn thing just zips right off when you start pedaling! I have $1500 more to pay it off, so I'm open to donations!! :D

Good for you! Nothing like getting a shiny new toy. I still grin every time I look at my ride!

That's great, congrats! :beer: I've tested the 2200 and thought it rode pretty smooth. What other bikes did you try?

Rock on. Skinny tires = win, no matter what the MTB crowd says.
