UnkieT,

So which bike will you be shopping for on Saturday?

In all truth, I'm going to go up to Chain Reaction, buy some shoes, shorts, and a helmet, get sized, and try the Trek.

Then, go to a Cannondale and Felt dealer.

Isn't Chain Reaction what S2020 recommends in Redwood City?

I really, really, really want a bike........

There are a ton of great bikes out there.

Test ride them at demo days or rent them. There is a huge difference between say a Lefty, a Specialized Stumpy, Felt virtue, or my favorite local brand http://www.ventanausa.com/

Then you can meet up with me and my mob for the appetite ride.

We're talking about road bikes, not downhill.

Yes. But what Sightless McGhee don't know is that they have a satellite store in Los Altos.

Booo...I miss the Gary Fisher circa 1990 that was a distinct company with distinctly different bikes. I hate how Trek has absorbed and then essentially killed off some of my favorite bike brands...
