The exgf/FB/wtf ever talked me into getting a bike in the first place. She wanted to start exercising with me and can't really jog because of high arches. I wanted to get her in shape so I started looking at bikes with no intention of spending over $200... that changed with in a week when I realized you can't get anything decent at that price. So another week passes, alot of research and rides, and I've got a Trek 2200 on layaway with a rental Trek 1200 going towards my lawaway. (going on a trip for 3 weeks so why have it sit at home while I'm gone?)
The kicker is, I don't think she's gonna follow through with riding! We went around a lake that's about 10 miles and she was strugglin the whole way and having to stop a bunch. I was encouraging, but frustrated. Her wonderful Sora equipped bike was hoppin on the cassete b/c the RD was F'd.
Pisses me off but atleast I've got a new hobby I enjoy.
