Hi everybody, I've been away for awhile so thought I'd reintroduce myself. I'm Lorne Miller from Victoria BC. I participated in a number of forums and owned a number of bikes while I was here, 2 Specialized Crosstrails and a Specialized Sirrus Carbon Sport. My life's situation has gone through some major changes since then, my first wife passed away and I got remarried two years later but moved into a two bedroom apartment where there was no place for bikes. I had to sell the Sirrus which was a tough thing to do. I've been missing cycling ever since and have finally talked my lady into keeping a bike in the apartment. I just bought a 2020 Trek FX1 disc, last one available in the midst of the covid19 madness, and will be making the first mods this coming week - new Shimano SPD pedals (still have the shoes) and a set of Ergon GP2 grips. Why Trek this time around? The Trek store is only a block away from where I live. The location of our apartment is surrounded be the starting points of three major bikeways that traverse Victoria and I plan on biking to work from now on. Along with the shoes I kept all my other gear, bike clothes, helmet, pump, tools, etc. Always knew it was just a matter of time before I was back on a bike.
Anyway, it's good to be back

cheers,

Lorne Miller
