I am athletic my two boys are athletic. One played soccer and the other played volleyball. They are now 28 and 30. I miss skiing with them. Forget about the previous remark about telling him that it was stolen. That will come back to bite you. You didn't say if your Dad is a cyclist or not but I am guessing he is. If he is a cyclist let him help pick out your new bike with you. He probably will also be able to get a better deal at the shop he 1st purchased the bike at than you will if that shop takes trade ins. good luck
