Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted March 25, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 25, 2019 Ryan has been helping me clean out the garage and get it organized for Spring so we can get both cars in if there is bad weather. Yesterday one of his buddies called and wanted to go on a bike ride. Ryan has been asking about my road bikes and if he could ride one, so we decided to give it a try. Pulled down the Trek 1200, aired up the tires with Spring air, as all the winter air seemed to have leaked out or gone north for the spring, but I digress. Gave it a quick once over, checked the brakes and shifters and took it for a quick spin to make sure all was in working order. Then let Ryan try on my Sidis to make sure they fit okay and held the bike while he practiced clipping in. He rides with Shimano MT540s on his bike, so it was a bit different. We backed off the spring pressure a bit to make it easier to clip out and then he road it a bit so I could check the fit. Lowered the seat an inch or so. Made sure there was a tube and CO2 and levers in the seat bag and off he went. He came back a few hours and 12 miles later in love with the bike. Told him as soon as he made Star rank in Scouts the bike was his. His eyes lit up. Will be interesting to see how well the carrot on the stick works. The one thing I neglected to do was to snap a picture of him on the Trek. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be real, that was Spring air being replaced by newer Spring air. I'm guessing vintage 2016? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted March 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 25, 2019 So when you get right down to it, a "Star rank in Scouts" is worth about 1200 Trek. Is that about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted March 25, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 25, 2019 Curious, in the N+1 scenario, I see the carrot out in front. But in an N -1 scenario, does this imply the carrot is a fart target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
