Earlier in April, my trusted commuter and touring bike with over 12,000 miles on it was stolen. Loosing the bike was bad enough, but leaving me empty handed just at the time the sun is coming out and making riding pleasant again was kinda cruel. A new solution was needed promptly and I’ve always wanted to try a proper touring bike so I rushed to the bike store and ordered this Trek 520 shown here exactly as delivered and never been ridden. You will be seeing it on the road very soon!
