New bike! New bike!

Congrats on the new ride! 😄

Always a great feeling when you finally decide. Have fun riding. 🙂

Well I took it out for a spin yesterday...wow...what a difference. You know prior to me buying a "real" bike (non department store) I always thought spending a lot of money on a bike wasn't worth it...I had the "it's not like it can be THAT much different". Of course once on the Trek 1000, it was a different type of bike altogether and now on the TCR....quite a difference from the 1000! I can definitely see what the community was saying about the gears, going from Sora to Ultegra....it almost felt too sensitive when I went to change gears. As Lokstah put it in a thread somewhere...definitely more "refined".

Thanks all for your advice and help!

Well I took the plunge and upgraded my Trek 1000 to a Giant TCR Alloy. I'm extremely pysched to get this thing! 🙂 🙂 I am getting fitted for it tonite.

Hey, what are you doing with your old bike? Let me know!

I already sold it on eBay....sorry 🙁

send me a link if you could. thanks.

It's already sold, actually it sold in 10 hours. I put it up at 10:30pm on Sunday, and at 8am on Monday morning I had an e-mail telling me someone bought it at the buy it now price.

Hey, congrats; the alloy TCR is a nice frame. Racy, snappy, stiff, and light, not too expensive; mean-looking to boot. Not the least chattery frame around (there are frames which offer less vertical bounce and bump), but all in all, a slick training/racing roadster.

Have fun out there!
