Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

'the chainstay tube is not attached to the bottom bracket???'

..it's an optical illusion. Plus Jamis (in addition to using liberal amounts of superglue) found a way of passing the chain thru the real wheel to the derailleur located on the opp side!!!

Trek 1000 AL

I just took my first ride (of any significance) on it today. It is my first road bike, and first time to actually be on a bike in a few years.

I'm still trying to get a feel for the bike, and the sport, but I think I made the right choice.

Bicycling Magazine seems to think so

I have a "fake Lemond". I bought a vintage steel frame (from 1974) in mint condition. Then I added 105 parts (combination of used and new) and some Alex rims. I tried to copy the Lemond Croix de Fer. I have yet to receive my new clipless pedals from the man in brown. I like riding this more than my Felt F70 due to the sweat equity that I have in it. I make the stickers on my pc and just stuck them on. It is a sweet ride and probably weighs around 23-24 pounds. Yes, I like to tinker...

I'll post a pic once I figure out how to do it on this forum.

Cannondale 3.0 Sport LX with flat bar, mountain bike pedals, big chain ring and front derailleur removed. 21 lbs. with a 63cm frame in spite of a heavy fork and rims. I did these mods 10 years ago to make a quick and agile city bike. 5 years before Cannondale made the Bad Boy.

Did you get sized correctly before buying this bike?
