We've established, by now, that bike shop guys get good deals on things. It's a fact of life. You get paid ... umm ... less than great, but you get pretty crazy pricing on everything. In short, the things I had on my list for 2010 are all but taken care of, and for very, very little (at least compared to retail).And with those things out of the way ... behold: Trek's Second District. There's a new Trek EP program available that knocks the price down on a number of bikes. The prices are pretty nice across the board, but this one is the clear winner. The price is so low that even a poor schlub like me could probably do that after about a month of being thrifty.
Why do I need this bike? Who said anything about need? It would be a fun work bike, and it would be a nice change of pace on a rest day. Now, to clear space for it in the garage ...

do you have to buy valve stems for the tubes separate? (not pictured)
bike looks cool. i think that belt drive will take over for all single speeds.
good call, Dan. I'm guessing it'll need 60mm or 80mm valve stems. I'm going to have some around for the Madone's carbon wheels, so I'll probably just use the same ones.
I was just joking. It looks like they photoshopped them out of the photo. keep us updated for when you get it!
ahh ... yeah. I'm slow. sorry.
Very nice.......bike shop people have the best toys....the world is not fair!
well, the tradeoff of nice stuff is less pay. So, really, it all evens out.
but yeah, we have fun toys. definitely.
