If you happen to be thinking about accessories, other items to consider are a rear rack, the means to fix a flat while you're on the road, and a decent floor pump for home use. Of all those things, the pump is your most important maintenance item.
thanks for the quick reply! I just looked on trek and it's showing $99..is there another site you are referring to by chance? If it is lower then I agree that it's not worth the deal.. if so I need to figure what type of helmet and brand to get etc..been looking all over the forums for some answers. Bit harder than I though lol As for accessories, definitely want what you mention as well as a bottle cage and bottle was thinking of getting the Bontrager bottle cage, seems nice. Thanks for the help!!
EDIT-- just did a direct search for it online instead of on trek site and I found one through the trek site that isn't listed through normal search parameters but it's 70. Only thing is it's only in blue, green and another oddball color. Not sure if that's why they are on sale
