Newbie with a Trek 7000
Hi everyone,
Used to ride regularly- was a participant in the American Cancer Society Bike-a-thon for 11 years (1987-1998) Didn't break any speed records, never came close to keeping up with the big boys, but had a lot of fun. Yet for various reasons, have pretty much not been on a bike since.
Started back riding with a cheap Schwinn mountain bike, and found I really enjoyed it. So I bought a Trek 7000 and found that I have been enjoying it even more!
Looking forward to getting to know you and benefiting from your experience and insights.
Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Can't with me- I am too set in my ways now.
But welcome back and watch out and start saving. Cycling is more expensive now that it was 5 years ago. 13 years off the bike and they have risen a lot. Fun element is still there though.

Welcome.
I have two 7000zx and a 8000sl, (vintage MTBs) and a yet another zx frame in storage. I guess I like them. Most parts of those bikes I cobbled together with eBay used parts or cannibalized other bikes. Keep your 7000 long-term, (hybrid?) you can always use it for something. I've considered putting an electric kit on one of these MTBs once the weight and price comes down.
