Went to a couple of bike shops and decided on this Trek 2.1
Now I just need to start riding!!
Ahh, and you got the black/red/white paint job too
Those are a good bang-for-the-buck bike. I just transplanted my stuff onto a 2.3 frameset (same frame and fork, different paint) from my venerable Schwinn Paramount (Reynolds 853 steel). I'm looking forward to this season.
What's your riding plans? Are you a member of a club? That helps stay motivated, when you've got people to meet and go riding with.
