My First "Big Boy Bike!"
Well, I broke down after two years of riding a hybrid hand-me-down and picked up a new commuting/short range touring bike. It's a 2012 Trek Lane. I love it. Sorry for the wires in the background; only place I could get a good shot of it for now. :> Future upgrades planned into toe straps (off the old bike), new rack, etc. Already have lights mounted on it. Everything else is stock for now.

nice!
before i got the Nashbar steel CX, i was looking at the Lane. looked good on paper.
unfortunately the local Trek dealer told me i was nuts for wanting steel and that he didn't feel like ordering it until he had a larger order to put in. ah well.
ENJOY! and please torture me with a review.

Beautiful bike. I looked very hard at the Trek Lane myself. I love the understated paint job.
