New Bike Day: T1

I took delivery of my first Trek yesterday.

I was walking out and Robert, another

designer stopped me as I walked by with

my Raleigh and asked me "When are you

going to start riding a Trek?" to which

I responded with how I ordered my T1

two weeks ago and had not heard about

it being delivered yet. He said it had

probably been delivered a few days ago

and they probably just didn't know who

I was yet because I was so new. Sure enough

right on top of a pile of bike boxes was a

60cm T1 with my name on it. We absconded

with it into a nearby shop and assembled

the bike, fitted it to my body and snugged

everything up. I got so excited I chose to

ride that home instead of the Raleigh.

Man, is the T1 fast. I suppose I am not

helping the Raleigh out by outfitting it

with boat anchors for wheels. The gear

ratio is a little short, nothing a new cog

would not fix, but aside from that, it is

an awesome addition to my collection.

Steal is Real but Aluminum and Carbon

are stupid light.

And on top of this, the Red Wings won.
