Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New 2200 Trek w/pics...

I've g0t the fever... I picked up my 1st ever true roadie a few weeks back (Trek 1600 posted here)... and have already swapped it even though I absolutely loved it. This WILL BE my last "new bike post" (for a few months anyway)... I stopped by the shop to pick up another computer for my wife's bike and this 2200 caught my eye. Couldn't resist and ended up swapping my 1600 out for this bike...
I love looking back through old posts and especially seeing pics so I thought I would post a few pics and specs as well.

Cool bikes, looks like my 2100. But I hope you didn't pay a ton for this because trek hasn't made a 2200 in a while

It's a 2006 carryover... Yep... I'm thrilled with the price as well (swapped even up for my 1600)... everything is worth whatever the buyer pays, right??

Flip it

I don't normally like treks all that much, but the color on your bike is pretty sweet!

But the Momentus Swing trainer in the background causes us to question your purchasing prowess.

Too funny. I, of course, have one too. But that was when golf was my obsession. Now it's cycling (much better for me, and the stuff is way cooler to buy).

I use mine strictly to stay lose during our frigid Midwest winters... no miracles expected from it. Yes I agree... "Cooler" stuff to buy, but surprisingly just as expensive...

Meaning my flip (handle bars)?? As a newbie, I'm still trying to understand the whole "flip it" thing...

Thanks...

I meant flip your stem. If you flip the stem, it allows you to get a little lower in front. I did it to sort out reach because I didn't want to move around spacers or cut the tube.

See how the stem is upsloping? If you flip it, it's about even or slightly negatively angled.
