Just a few seconds longer than a Goldfish then?? :lol:
I've been over to Evans & had another look at that Trek again, also asked about the criteria for test-rides.
So, maybe later this week, I'll have another ride over ........
The guy offered me a ride there & then, but I can't ride in jeans, they're just too uncomfortable (so I'll go over in lycra & SPD shoes)
Bush Tucker Man:
Coming back up to press, I almost bought an '06 Kona Caldera last month, but couldn't get the correct size.
So this afternoon........... I've ordered a Trek 6000 in orange/black)
Sadly it wasn't in the shop, so it's arriving on Tuesday.
With that in mind.......................... I've been checking up on the cyclo-cross calendar for this autumn.
Little question
Are the cleats from the original SPDs compatible with the present range?, or do I have to invest in new shoes & pedals as well??
Mindst you, I quite fancy a fresh pair of Sidis
Bush Tucker Man:
No phone call today, but given the weather I think it may be a safe bet that it hasn't arrived?
Just been browsing around & I wish I could have persuaded SWMBO that one of these was the ideal bike for me* :lol:
A friend had one for a while, back in the mid-90s, as well as a 'FRO'. Great bikes
* UK distributor price is £699 (frame only)

i like that ,
but i'd want all the bike for $811 not just the frame ....

I'd be happy with it at the recommended price, set up with a pair of Manitous, with Answer stem & bars (I'm 'old school' :wink: )
Anyway
I got it this morning :D
(quite the apt text colour :lol: )
I've already swapped stem & bar, as it had a short stem (90mm??) & a pair of those 'sit up & beg' riser bars.
Now it's got a pair of flat Easton & a 110mm stem
Plus an old friend who I used to ride MTB & 'cross with donated a pair of SPDs to the cause.
Well done Nick
