Trek Bikes Honors Portland With New Model of Commuter Road Bike

Most of you know that Portland is considered to be one of the top biking cities in the nation and now we have been honored by Trek Bikes, a top manufacturer, with a commuter road bike of our own, the 2006 Trek Portland.

This is a jazzy little number that comes with an aluminum frame and a mix of mid-quality Bontranger and Shimano components. A nifty feature is the quick release fender system, which is a real necessity for those of us here in Portland. At the moment you are held to burnt orange as the only color available but perhaps that may change as the product line progresses.

Although this is not a high performance, racing road bike, it is definitely well put together and will serve most roadies well in a variety of situations. The local Bike Gallery stores are beginning to get these in stock, so whether you are a beginning roadie or experienced old git, I'd recommend heading over there to give the 2006 Trek Portland a test spin.

You can tell them Mr. Viddy sent you, but nobody knows who I am so it wouldn't mean much!
