Out with the Old & In with the New (Bike that is)

Today saw a turn of the wind or change in the tides, well may be not quite but it did see a new bike in the garage anyway.
Unforunantly due to a rear end bang in central London back in May I later discovered that the rear triangle was slightly bent. Not to much but enough to cause speed wobbles at 50km’s.

So with several major events coming up and a kiwi summer riding period ahead I figured it was time to trade in my pride & joy of 3 years (Trek 2300) for a new 2006 Trek 5200 model. The main difference is a change of mateials from an aluminium to carbon frame, not to mention the weight difference of 2.5kg’s.

Now that I have my early birthday present in the garage I’ll be a bit more confident on the decents.
