Evidently 1988 was a good year.
Just wait til I get my hand-sewn saddle restoration from https://busymanbicycles.blogspot.com/

Thanks for all the thumbs ups. I think its a great bike and certainly more then I deserve but I'm not sending it back. I already had the cages and it looks nice enough to me so they're staying and I prefer just plain ole' black pedals. Other then swapping out the arione for a toupe I'm keeping it the way it is.
Has anyone else noticed there's very little inventory at bike shops lately? Its getting harder and harder for me to justify paying a premium at my LBS when the selection is so limited.

My New 2010 Trek 2.1 Alpha C
I posted this a week ago, but it was right when I brought it home and the reflectors and stickers were still on it. My first Road bike......
This is it after I replaced the seat and cleaned her up a bit. Only things I need are new bag and clips.
I like it.... A LOT...

Why would you want a new bag, the fact that it has S(pecialized) written on it? Don't bother... It's a nice bag and fits the bare essentials you need on a ride.
Oh and by the way, don't go with clips. Move along to clipless (SPD or something) pedals.

The bag is old and off my MTB.....so I just want a newer/smaller one that fits better.....and that one back on my other bike.
sorry....that's what I meant.....still getting used to the lingo.

What I did notice though, you have the computer sensor on your fork the wrong way around. It may be in a slightly more aero position like this, but there's hardly any advantage... Though, you wouldn't want it to shift and get caught by your spokes. Could cause you some serious injury.
