I finally ordered a Trek X500 today, and am looking forward to it within the next guesstimated 6-8 weeks or so.
Although I've been riding an "indefinitely loaned" Trek mountain bike for a few years, thanks to a friend of mine, this will be the first exceptionally nice bike I've ever owned personally. It took some digging to research this puppy, because I can't find much posted on the web about it, but I feel certain I've made the right choice for me.
I was looking for a bike that would carry me and a good bit of gear over any distance I care to cover under a wide range of conditions. I kept looking at other bikes, but kept thinking of all the mods I'd have to make in order to wind up with what I really wanted.
It's taken me days to talk myself into paying this much for a bike, but I have a feeling this puppy will earn its keep.
