Lol minus the pink the bike is awesome. I really need to dump my shaman r510 wheels for something lighter. I looks like if I put zipp303 on it I would loose about 1.2 lbs.... Which puts my bike in around 16.9lbs.... But $1200 is a little steep ha

You really have to see it in person, it looks BAD ASS

. As for lighter rims check this out. They only weigh 1525 grams per set. These are cheaper & i believe lighter than the Zipps. I just checked on google. The REYNOLDS ASSAULT CARBON WHEELSET are 100 grams lighter than the Zipp 303 wheel set.

Nice bike Mike. Don't listen to Harold, he is just jealous of all the attention other men will be giving you when you ride.

This is also the actual bike that Trek used in the 2009 dealer catalog. The only thing that was changed from the catalog is they replaced the $2000 Carbon fiber wheels, with a high end spoked wheel, with Bladed spokes. It also has the Team ASTANA logo on the bike. For those of you that are into cycling, you know who i'm talking about. It has the Top of the line Sram Red gruppo & a Fizik arione seat with Titanium rails. Ity also has clipless pedals, which are based on Ski bindings With out the bags it weighs 16#'s, with the bags it weighs 17#'s. The Frame, forks seat post are OCLV Carbon fiber, which is Proprietary to Trek. The crank arms are Carbon fiber as well. The color's are pearl white, two different shades of pearl or metallic pink. It looks totally bad ass in the sun.

Mike, sweet ride you have there!

Yeah, sorry, had to do that to you!!!

I like the bike, you must be pretty serious to have a sweet ride like that. I used to bike about 9 miles a day for exercise, but I used some old piece of crap mountain bike. Did the job, got me hit by a car and it still works fine. Oh well.

I did a 46 mile group ride today, & i finished in the lead group. Our max speed was 27.5 & our average speed over 46 miles was 17 MPH. I have been hit by a car while riding a bike before,it was not fun

. How is the wife & the future missing Linc doing ?.

I did another ride today with dad and brother. I know my numbers are ameture compaired to yours but anyway- 28 miles @ an average of 15mph. I got separated from them by traffic and got lost so I did the last 6 mile alone

I'm not sore enough to consider wearing bike pants yet.

pinkpanda3310 · 10.03.2010, 07:31 AM

I found a picture of what me Dad and brother have. Apparently the one he lends me is 'nostalgic'. Makes no diff to me

The correct shorts will make a huge difference. Pearl izumi shorts with the 3d chamios are really good. Your average is pretty good. That is what my average usually is when i ride alone on a 25-27 mile ride. Those are nice bikes. I assume that is Carbon ?

spandex on race day only haha

Yes it's carbon frame. I don't know anything about the running gear other than Dad has told me it's mostly low end gear. Apparently he has tried a number of bikes and didn't notice any benefits from the expensive gear.

I'll try and remember your recomendation if I ever get some pants, thanks.

I Definitely noticed a difference when i switched from my last bike, which had Shimano 105. To my new bike which has Sram Red. The 105 is 3rd from the top of shimano's line, were as the Red is Sram's top of the line. The 105 was very good, but i think the Red gruppo is smoother, faster & lighter.
