I think it's easy to underestimate just how much further back your hands are on something like a Bosco bar, versus a traditional mountain bike bar. It's practically a foot! And while Grant does advocate for an upright, relaxed position, there are practical limitations to how upright you can be

I also like the old version better; I found it more inviting to browse. But as others have pointed out, this new version may be more to the taste of younger people used to mobile phone interfaces. The MAP bar continues to please, with ends perfectly parallel to terra firma, but the grips could be

Dang, glad you made it Rich! I'm *really *impressed with the bottle cage and cup as tool holder. That's some next level stuff. I'm serious. I like your shop-made tool holders as well as the base you made for the truing stand. I'm with you on the plywood, nails and shop-made methods for holding

I doubt that our complaints will change anything after all the work and money that likely went into the change, but I agree with you. I think it's a little silly to be a retrogrouch about web design, but I personally preferred the old site to the current one--even the last iteration I found

My wife has the same Trek FX. It has been a good bike for her. The frame must be of European origin (touring frame?) because hers has bosses for a rear wheel lock (O lock). It had 35mm tires on it stock and would probably fit bigger tires if you'd want to. -- You received this message
