Spin that revolving garage door! - .RJ - 03-10-2007

Sort of Wink Picked up a new road bike yesterday - Trek Pilot. Last year's model, and on sale - Its reeeeallly nice, cant wait to put some miles on it today Smile

If anyone is within a few hours of the Roanoke area looking for a bike, then check out East Coasters - really good buying experience. We had to make some adjustments and swap the steering stem out to get a good fit but they made sure it was right and that I was ok with it. The guys really know their stuff. They also sold me a pair of deraill... (whatever the shifter things are) cheaper than I could find them on ebay so that I can swap in a double crank as well - I'll tackle that after I put some time in on the bike.

I posted my old road bike on Craigslist yesterday morning, had a ton of responses and 2 people were here before 9am today to look at it - it was gone by 9:15.

You wouldn't be far off the mark. One of my coworkers motorpaces with his cycling team on his K75. We also have a lot of customers that marshal and/or carry camerapeople on motorcycles for bicycle races.
