New ride on it's way

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 ride on it's way

Well I ordered a new 2011 Trek Madone 5.2 today. It should be here by Wednesday of next week. I test rode one today and knew it was what I wanted. I have been riding a Fuji Roubaix over the past year and it has been a good bike but I just got the itch for a new ride. I will post pictures when it arrives.

I'm going to be putting my old bike up for sale on craigslist. I would like to get some opinions on what price I should be asking. Here is a link to a bike like mine, components and all. Thanks in advance.

I picked it up on Thursday. Rode it 130 miles this weekend and it rides great. I'm not much of a photographer but here goes.

Well, I would say "It Depends". If it's the 61cm, I would ask $50 obo and I'll PM you my number!

Nice bike. Very purdy!

LOL...I'm sorry it's a 56cm. I'm thinking about asking $600.00 and see where that gets me.
