Hello all...
 
So I'm new here, just got myself a new bike after riding for about 6 months. I bought a trek 2.3 and love it! She's only got about 60 miles from last weekends ride. I need to get it sized properly and have it tuned. The front derailleur is a bit noisy sometimes. When I bought it, the LBS was closing and I just said I'd come back to have them do it this upcoming weekend.

I used to ride my dad's old 70's Nishiki Custom sport. Great bike, pretty quick bike for being much heavier. Although it needs a few things fixed. Drive train is worn and a bit noisy. Also rims aren't true anymore and have WAY too many miles on them.

But anyways, here's some pictures. Thanks for looking!

Nice!
Welcome to the party, I have a soft spot in my heart for old Nishiki`s. My first ``real`` bike was a Nishiki.

Lucky - 2 nice bikes!

Actually nice that you are going back for the fit / tune after riding it a little. I think it always works out better that way.

Well I've got 30 days I can go back and have them tune/adjust it for free. So I just figured I'll get a rough sizing, take it for a spin and have them adjust it. Also the front derailleur NEEDS adjusting, the chain jumped off the crank on me going from the small to big once.
