Trek Demo Day At Paris Mt

[stumpbumper]

See below announcement from Rick Ramos of Great Escape bike shop concerning the upcoming Trek demo day at Paris Mountain near Greenville, SC. I have attended it for the past few years and enjoyed. It is an excellent opportunity to ride 2013 road and mountain bikes from Trek on the great trails at Paris Mountain. I suggest you bring your own pedals unless you ride flats.

Trek has some real nice mountain and road bikes, especially with the fold-in of GF. Would like to see more of them on our trails.

What I really enjoy about their demo day is it gives me the opportunity to compare different bikes on the same trails on the same day.

Last year I did a carbon fiber versus aluminum comparison and also compared top-of-line bikes with 26" and 29" wheels.

My conclusions.

A carbon fiber frame is high in "wow" factor but from a practical point of view the small difference in ride quality and weight savings compared to a good aluminum frame does not justify the difference in price.

Call me old-fashioned if you will, but after several unsuccessful attempts at convincing myself that a 29er is better and I should buy one, I am still happily rolling along on 26" wheels.
