Finally Purches my first trouring bike
After tons of research and riding several bikes, I finally purchased my first touring bike. Here is my new Trek 520 Disc. Love it so far!!!!

The toughest part of having something new in the winter like this great bike is waiting to really test it out!

Nice, been looking at a 520 myself. Now if the weather was warmer I would buy it tomorrow, load up my tent and head off.

I have a 2014 520. Great bike for touring. I find it a bit heavy for a daily rider, but it is all I have for a road bike, and that's not going to change any time soon. Have fun!
