New Bike Day...
We took delivery my wife’s new 58cm Trek 920 from our LBS yesterday...she sure was happy when she arrived home and saw her new wheels. I had Cascadia ALX fenders added and a Bontrager 700RT light. My 61cm 920 is ordered and could arrive in mid April. Her bike will have XPEL stealth satin finish paint protection applied today on the matte sandstorm paint finish. Black water bottle cages will be added after paint protection is applied. She got to unwrap her saddle haha.
We look forward to riding the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway and many quiet forest roads in our backyard. Very happy with the performance of our KUAT Transfer 2 hitch mounted rack. A fun new bike day!

Yikes! That is one sweet rig. I'm not familiar with "XPEL" so I'm gonna do a little googling on that. New bike day is always fun.
Congrats!

My preferred hockey shop is also a Trek dealer, everytime I go in there they have those front and center. Sexy bikes, really like the looks of them!

I was going to comment on the tires as well. Serious, indeed. Cool bicycle, hope your wife enjoys many adventurous miles in the saddle.

Thank you all for the kind compliments, I added a mirror, rear luggage, and water bottle cages today. The build is coming around. My wife is excited about the build!
