Trek 1.2 2011 - First Road Bike

jmillen

Hey folks,

Just a few pics of the Trek 1.2 Alpha I bought last weekend. Its my first road bike so I didn't want to go OTT in terms of money, just enough to get myself something which will let me know if its something I could get in to.

I've only done limited miles so far, but really enjoying it. I was worried coming from a full sus mountain bike that the riding position would be very aggressive and uncomfortable. I was wrong. I was also thinking that it would be a harsh ride feeling every lump and bump. Wrong again.

Spec is below with some pics below that
