let the ugly contest begin!
2012 trek 2.1 APEX
leftover purchased for $950 about 4 weeks ago.
Completely stock.
The GIANT dealer was going out of business and I picked up that topeak seat bag for $16 which carries my loose hex wrenches, tube repair kit, cO2 inflator with 2 cyclinders, spare tube, tire levers, $2.20 (bus fair in emergency), ID and housekey, and presta valve adapter.
When I bought the bike I actually said "I don't care about color or looks, I simply am looking for the best components for the most reasonable price".. Hands down this was the winner in my town at BOTH bike shops. I'm a novice so I sure as heck need the support of a LBS. The purchase includes 2 years of free service which includes a pretty comprehensive amount of work. I really didn't think that wheel truing and spoke tension would be part of a regular service but it is.
bash it, like it, disregard. It's all the same to me.
also, to be completely different for the discerning eye, I put it on the small chainring up front so you would know that I don't use any leg muscle at all. ORrrr.. maybe I've filled the frame with TREKDOPE and it just feeds into my veins making me faster than most even on the small chainring... what other sarcasm can I bring.. I'm still looking
For those that missed my other post I did finally find the dial to turn up the watts!!! It must be that plastic protector behind the cassette right!?
I sure hope you guys find time to give it some rave reviews. While you're posting your disgust at my ugly metallic green bike I'll be out riding this morning in the cool 62 degree mostly sunny morning.
