What are the chances ?

In one of my other post I related had I had won a Trek 7000 which got me into bike riding after many years and two wasted bikes, well that and to encourage the wife on her weight loss program. Good bike for my type of riding, blacktop path, just one problem bike's too small. I'm 5"10" barefooted with a 33" inseam, the bike is 17.5 or 44.5 cm and after riding it for some miles I realized it was too small. Then I chanced on the same bike with a 20" frame and by "the same" I mean someone had won the exact same bike except for the 20" frame. This bike is $400 locally so I'm satisfied with the $250 price. I'm looking forward to a more pleasurable ride in the future. The grandson wants the 17.5 so much he's agreed to work it off in yard work so how could I say no? Don't tell but I would given it to him anyway but it's good to develop the work ethic!

Hey way to go. I assume the winner sold you the bike for $250. AND free yard work good for character. :-)) Ride with your grandson.

Now how about a bike for your wife. :-))) Its win win.

Yeah, and I did buy the wife a good used Trek Navigator to see how she would take to riding,so far so good.

Well,got the new bike! It's just like the other but 20" instead of 17.5" and the tires have a different tread pattern.I took it on a 6 mile ride and it felt more comfortable with the larger frame,guess the grandson has himself a new Trek 7000 [17.5].
