Hey Tomg,
Living in So Cal is terrific when your hobby is cycling. North SD Co gives alot to choose from on a weekend ride.
The Trek 5200 I ride now was original equipment with a triple. Was never really happy with it so changed it out to the double which I have really liked.
The new bike will be my climbing bike so I'm hoping the compact crank will give me a little more in the hills. I'm also doing everything I can to keep it light including carbon wheels.
