Long Time No Post...

I just want to give a shout out to my peeps who made my bike. TREK! I got an unusually good deal on a full suspension Trek Fuel 100 Team Issue bike from a friend whose brother works for Trek. The bike came to me in almost mint condition and I think those fellas thought the bike was broken because it had a flat or something...haha. There were less than a thousand miles on the bike, no visible scratches and the crank arms were pristine. I have beaten it to death compared to what is was like when I got it and man is it fast. The entire frame is carbon and even parts of the front fork are carbon. It is an XL sized frame and the entire bike weighs 24 pounds! The wheel set is the Bontrager Race X Lite and it is full XTR front to back. It climbs like a goat and descend like one too. If you are looking for plush don't go here. But did I mention it was fast!?!
The long and the short of this, Trek makes good bikes. And this is one of them. I would love to buy the new version with all the updated suspension and tricked out new stuff. But I got such a good deal on this one that I will ride it until the wheels fall off!
