![]() Spent close to 3 hours on the trainer and a couple hours on a treadmill this weekend while watching "Inception", "Iron Man 2" and 1999 Tour highlights. Also picked up the Trek from Rick Miller, bike mechanic extraordinaire. He put it through the tune-up process, new chain and bar tape. Now the bad news, the frame, which replaced the original because of cracks around the bottom bracket, a common problem with the 6.9 and 6.7 frames, has cracks around the seat post (understandable because of huge stress from carrying my lard ass around) but also beneath the bottom bracket (understandable from the huge stress I place on the pedals from my enormous power) but in other places too. So, the process begins to get the frame replaced and hope that does not include sending the frame away for inspection. Looks like there will be opportunities to ride this week and weekend. I know Steve O and Mark C are getting out on Tuesday at 2:30. Hope we can put together a good group ride this weekend.

Is it possible your frame is even making fun of you? You know "cracking up" laughing? There is always golf hopefully Trek didn't make your clubs also!

Will Trek replace your frame at no cost to you? That sucks. Hope it won't be long...I was lucky, I think I had a new bike within a few weeks thanks to Ric. I'm looking forward to riding this weekend after a very cold and wet tandem ride last Saturday.
