Today was a wonderful day for 101bike. It was sunny in Toronto, we went to the street festival on Young street and had a great time. When I got home I decided that this had to be the day.

Maybe I forgot to tell you that a few weeks ago I had made up my mind and decided on the Trek 7.5, however after my bike dealer called Trek to order one it turned out that Trek was not selling this bike anymore because it ran out of stock and according to the guys at Sportswap I had to wait till the 2007 bikes came in.

When I came home I called the guys at SportSwap to see if they had any news on the TREK FX 7.5 bike yet, the 2007 model. Through some amazing fortune they  had a 2006 model in the store. So I told them to put it on hold.

I went to the store test-rode it again and just before I wanted to pay I still wanted to check their used bikes section. Mostly mountain bikes but also a hybrid Devinci Milano all the way in the back, which was just returned today. It was only $300 so I decided to take it for a spin and even though it was a 2004 model it still looked look and rode excellent.

So that's the bike I bought! I will now start riding (picking it up tomorrow) and still have plenty of money now to pimp my bike, get some good gear and see how I like it. A very rational and wise decision as many people would say.

Should I like bicycling, I can still sell the bike and move up to for instance a Cervelo?

Anyway, I am happy with the purchase and will post some pictures tomorrow so you can see what shape it is in. (The shape I am in will hopefully be better in a few weeks...)
