Trek Bicycle Corporation Puns

I’m selling my Trek Domane SL 5 (54) because I barely have time to ride. The bike has been ridden 6 times with the max distance of 6 miles. I bought it 6 months ago brand new and unfortunately its not just taking up space in my apartment. I’m not sure how to add the pictures but the color two tone grey and orange (most of the body of the bike).

It has never been stored ouside and I have the original receipt as well as the bike is registered under my name on the official Trek website (to verify it is not stolen and I am the first and only owner).

I’m also throwing in a ton of accessories as an added bonus: kryptonite lock, lights, both sets of pedals, and tire repair kit with extra tube.

Trek Bike Edit: PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE and will include all accessories

Edit #2: the gears are 105

Hi all! I (6ft 180lb male) have a fitness reimbursement available from work beginning January, and I'd like to use it asap on a bicycle. I can max out at 1k. Since it's a reimbursement, I must buy new. I'm looking for something mostly for commuting 4ish miles to work and running errands (groceries, etc) to keep me out of my car when it's not raining hard.

I'm trying to stick to buying from a shop (Seattle area) rather than shipping something, and so far these are the options I'm most considering:

• REI Co-op cty 1.2 and 2.1 (I'm struggling to see what the difference here really is?)
• Trek FX 2 and Verve 2 (Also struggling to find the differences here). FX3 looks like a decent 1x10 option, but not sure how this would do on hills?
• Giant Escape 2 Disc
• Marin Fairfax 2 (I've heard good things about this, but it doesn't seem to be available nearby?)

Honestly I'm considering just riding each and going with whats comfortable, I'm under the assumption there isnt that much of a difference between them as they're all in a similar price range, and I'm leaning towards shopping from REI because of their easy customer service.

Anything opinions on a favorite from above, or if there's something else I should re-consider?

Shot in the dark, but if anyone sees a black trek bike with a small travel bag under the seat, holler at me. I'd like it back.

Hey everyone! I am new to the biking world and unfortunately those expensive bikes are out of my price range so I was hoping to find something used. I found one on a thread and negotiated it to $500 so I was wondering your thoughts and opinions. I included pictures. Is this bicycle worth the price? Thank you. Again I'm new to the world so unsure if it is worth the price for a 2008 bike. He said he replaced the seat and the seat alone cost $130. The bicycle overall looks in great condition according to the pictures as well. Thanks again.

Looking to take my cycling a bit more seriously and enter competitions as well as start doing longer rides. I have never gotten fitted before, but given how much time I spend on the bicycle, I figured the $300 price-point is a worthwhile investment in comfort and performance.

I'm looking at the following places that all offer some sort of fitting services:

• Sports Basement - https://shop.sportsbasement.com/pages/services-bike

• Whole Athlete - https://wholeathlete.com/bike-fitting/our-approach/

• Studio Velo - https://www.studiovelocycling.com/fit-studio

• Mikes Bikes - https://mikesbikes.com/pages/body-geometry-fit

• Trek Bikes - https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/precision_fit/

• Fitted by Pedro - https://fittedbypedro.com/

Does anyone have experiences with any of these outfits? Would highly appreciate any recommendations!

This is one of the more important articles I've written. Trek have designed a new bike box, but this one is for D2C. Easy read, please check it out. This can have big bike-market implications.

The pyramids were built by slaves but we would miss them, wouldn't we? A lot of humanities greatest success involved great suffering.

No, i do not thinks so. But i love and space space exploration and think that a few Billion dollars of the global gdp can be thrown at it without causing any more damage than capitalism does anyway. And even if its private, the technology is still developed anyway and new standards are set for space exploration. But all of this has nothing to do with betterment of humankind or "we have to become multiplanetary". I see thats bullshit and i also see that union busting is really bad. But believe it or not, i think without tesla the advancement of electric cars and in general focus on reusability in the industry would be nowhere near where it is today. That does not mean, i like tesla but in a world full of people that think everybody has the right to own a car, EVs are the only way forward. And in a world full of distuction suffering caused by capitalism, space exploration is the least of our problems. But i also know that i am biased because i love rockets and space so much. From a radical standpoint it is not necessary for anybody and if i got to chose i would spend the dollars on other useful things. But i cant, and 95% of the people are stupid anyway which is why we are doomed anyway, so i like to sit back and watch rockets explode and dont give a shit for moment.

To be fair, I don’t think Elon ever sold this as anything more than a long term survival strategy. He makes stuff and does that really well, figuring out to make society better is not in his repertoire. So...that part is up to us.

They need somewhere to go once they completely destroy the planet and leave the poor people that didn't have any chance and changing the course of the planet.

Nope. Not for an instant. Nor do I believe Bill Gates is a humanitarian. His donations are big tax deductions and he "donates" to industries where he has large for-profit investments.

My Trek bicycle was stolen last night and I thought it might be worth a post here in case someone happens to see it. It is exactly like the picture attached except the handle bars are blue and the back tire is different. I also had a black zipper pouch on the front handle bars.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Hi all,

I have been putting 55 psi in both tires everyday. I feel I shouldn’t have to fill air everyday.

What should be the psi for both tires? I weigh about 270lbs.

Secondly, why do I have to keep filling air daily? That sounds not right.

Blue Trek hybrid. Lights on bars & seat post, seat bag, white water bottle.

Long shot but might as well try. Filing a police report as soon as I get the serial number.

Just what the title says. I used to ride with both the Trek in Arlington and also a few Bikes inc. but now it looks like their website redirects to Trek.

Also is the Trek store in Arlington by River Legacy still there? It's not showing up there.

edit It was in February it looks like, found this on the MBBC page

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to biking. With that said, I purchased a Cro-moly Multitrack 730 bike that appears to be from the 90's. Unfortunately one of the tires popped and the seat (saddle) is way too uncomfortable, any links to websites or tips on searching for old Trek bicycle parts would be greatly appreciated! Apologies if I'm not using correct terminology I'm a complete bike noob.

Got the news in an email this morning from BSS .......
