The Bike

Purchased the Trek 1.7 2008 Triple crankset from Evans Cycles at Canary Wharf for £799.99 and after accessories & upgrades and taking into consideration workshop charges I must have spent around £1500 on the bike at least by now. Its a outstanding bike with a great carbon fibre/super alloy frame so its very light whilst offering superb cornering and handling and feels firm to ride.
