New Bike Time

The part of the forum where the silliest things happen. Conversations that sound like they belong here, will be moved here. Maybe.

Nice choice! I would buy that one too! Interestingly, I also own a Trek Stache from about 2016.

WHERE IS THE NEW BIKE?!?! CANT WAIT TO SEE IT
I haz a sad. Bike was delivered around 7pm last night. Put it up in the bikestand to build it up. Got the front wheel and handlebars on. Was mounting some pedals and spinning the cranks while tightening them, the chain dropped off the big sprocket on the cassette inbetween the cassette and the spokes. Pulled the chain to get it out, dropped the derailleur, and found that the rear derailleur hanger was bent in shipping. Waiting to hear back from the retailer about next step.

No riding for me. It is pretty though.

Oh man that’s disappointing. I’m really looking forward to seeing the end result when this gets squared away.

Just got authorized to drop the bike off at a local shop to get this repaired and the retailer will cover the costs. Will be tomorrow before I can get it there.

What kind of riding positions are there? Based from the pic of the Ghost you bought it looks very comfortable.

I am not as cool as JimVH. Nor or you. Well, unless you ARE JimVH.
