MGINEERING The Least, The Last, The Left Out

Pedal Power

I’ve been patiently waiting for the Trek District since its initial November release date.  Here we are 7 months later, one delay after another, rumors upon rumors as to what’s holding up production, and I am no closer in getting that bike now than I was in November.  Apparently other people around the world have been getting their bikes which makes me even more frustrated as to why my size (54cm) seems to be the most difficult to find. Most people have been getting 56’s.

I stopped by my local bike shop after work just last week. I was convinced that this shop would be the last place I’d ever see the bike. my friend had to be the one who pointed it out to me. “Oh that’s a sick looking bike!” He yelled. I turned around and saw its orange rims staring at me right in the face, it was like a dream. But this was a dream with a sad ending, as it was another 56 District. I’ve never wanted to be 6 feet tall more so than at that very moment so I can ride it home with me. Ugh.

Meanwhile at another bike I shop I saw this matte/flat black road bike and found a deal I couldn’t pass up. Murdered out, drop bars, gears, a sick minimalist color scheme, found a killer deal, available and in stock…SOLD!

The bike should deliver sometime after the 4th of July weekend. I’ve already checked the weather forecast for next week, low 90’s. I’m starting a bike club, who wants to join?
