I think the Trek that my boyfriend purchased last summer is the "hybrid" version of that same frame and running gear. Very nice bicycle: very good equipment and a pleasure to ride.
I went for a Bianchi "San Jose" single-speeder model and then had it customized: a hybrid seating position and a Shimano Nexus 8 internal gearbox was installed rather than a derailleur set up. It does about the same thing but the steering and handling are a bit faster, the internal-hub gearbox is a bit easier to deal with in traffic. http://www.gdgphoto.com/bsj-8/ Godfrey On May 2, 2007, at 6:34 AM, Scott Loveless wrote: > I've convinced myself that if I can shave off 30lbs this summer I'll > need a new bike. :-) So I'm looking at a Trek Pilot.
