i got a trek soho s recently, at a low low low price ("family discount"). i'm STOKED about building it up into a fixed gear grocery bike. going with parts i have on hand to build it up the way i want (moustache bars, short stem, 0 setback seatpost, fenders), and am really excited.
unfortunately, i promised to do a detailed review of the bike, as there's NO detailed information or reviews on the bike at all anywhere-- not even on trek's site (i got more info from a fellow bike forums member than from trek about components, et al). this means i have to ride it stock for a week, which isn't as bad as i initially thought. the week ends on friday. going to do a pretty nice writeup of the bike stock, what i like/dislike, and the subsequent "upgrades" (with mad pics).

i feel really nerdy for admitting it, but i'm looking forward to it like it's christmas.

the more i ride it, though, the more i appreciate what it is; definitely what it's going to be. as a bonus, it has a flip flop hub w/ freewheel. i ride it fixed, but if i have a friend over from out of town who doesn't ride fixed i now have an extra bike they can rock.

ps, my bob jackson is kinda depressed.
