Awesome ride! I recently got involved into bicycling just last summer. My girlfriend was a major influence with my decision making on purchasing one! I bought a TREK Shift 3. I absolutely love to ride it! The 2nd day after owning it, I was riding into work on a bike path about 6.2 miles one way, which was no big deal at all, and really motivated me for the work day! Now, I am just patiently waiting for the weather to pick up, so I can be out again riding, and OF COURSE go detecting! Come on spring!!!
Here's my trusty rusty mid 70's 10 speed Iverson beater in the back of my truck after a ride. Notice the reversed and flipped handlebars, talk about upright and comfortable. This thing rides like a Cadillac, but weighs in at 45 lbs. so it's destined to be a flat terrain bike. I've had it 10 years and it's on it's third set of bearings and ready for new races and bearings again after 1,000s of miles. Hoping to mix it with my detecting this year. Cheers!!
