Well hi there! Yeah, when we first started talking about bikes, I went up into the city of Raleigh and visited a
shop I found online, they are a performance shop, and to be honest, not one single bike in there was remotely interesting to me, all carbon fiber, and pretty much everything waaaaay out of our price range. I was like, what in the world happened while I was not looking?
Going used I got into three bikes, a 1992 Trek 800 mountain track, a 1995 Trek 370 Sport road bike, this one needed a lot of work to it, and the 1981 Austro Daimler, all for quite a bit less than what I was seeing entry level bikes selling for, I enjoy working on stuff so this has been fun, and rewarding in a couple different ways. Actually, two of the three I bartered for with things I was no longer interested in, so really short money in the end...
