Auto Shifting Trek

Wow! I took a look at a picture of the Trek; you're right about the tennis ball! My rear doesn't look like that at all; pretty standard looking overall. I've yet to photo it, but I'll get one up shortly. It also has a weird "disc" brake on the rear hub; looks nothing like the disc brakes you see today.
