Trek Equinox 7, WSD...?


For the first time since my bike was stolen, I'm seriously looking into getting a new one. An awesome neighbor lent me her spare road bike, so I'm not bikeless. But, it doesn't fit me very well, and I can't help but just feel like I need/want one of my own.

Here's the one I'm considering...the Trek Equinox 7, WSD. I don't particularly have the money out of my monthly budget (okay, I don't AT ALL have the money out of my monthly budget), but I have it in savings, and I feel like I'm almost ready to take the plunge...again.

I loved my old bike--I still look for it around town, even though I'm sure it's completely hopeless by now. Oh well...it's just a material object, and those come and go, right? If nothing else, I've learned to not leave things in my garage.


In any case, if (and when) I have to buy a new bike, I want to make sure it's the right one. Any suggestions for a small-to-medium sized girl?

hawt

have you seen Wil's red one? she's probably got an opinion!

i'm thinking either Trek or Cervelo for my big purchase... Flatman's gonna be my consultant!... i'm sure he'd consult for you too!!

I'm leaning towards this or Cervelo as well...I'm usually pretty decisive, but for some reason I just can't seem to pick which one I want.

Not much help, but good luck in deciding.

What other brands do you like or are you looking at?

my bike that got stolen was a cannondale road bike (which i loved), but i'm thinking i want a tri bike this time around...and so i just looked into trek and cannondale first.

what else? hmmm...

cervelo, maybe? or quintano roo? wil suggested maybe felt, but i don't know anything about them. i guess i don't know much about bikes regardless...i know what the specs mean, and i know my biking is the weakest link, but that's about it. i don't want to spend more than $2000; i don't think i should have to. i probably don't deserve something that good, ya know?
