Good for you, Bob! We are approaching the magic temperature of 55F around here. That's when it's warm enough so that everybody seeing an old guy riding a bicycle doesn't automatically think his DL's been revoked.

Trek 4300 here, I was so happy to purchase a nice bike. Some $!%%er cut my lock and stole my first one, only had it about a month. My mom felt bad for me and got me another one. Its a real nice bike, needed a few upgrades (seat, chain) and some tweaking (gears) but its awesome now.

Thanks for the positive comment! And no, I don't own a car.

I'm looking for a hydration pack now, but don't know exactly what a want. Compactness or convenience...

Camalback has great offerings in many sizes. Can't go wrong there.
Go for the '08 models or older if you want to save a nice chunk of money.

Although I normally don't like the style of camalbacks with the exception of this years models (Mule NV/Hawg NV). My brother has the Fox Oasis and it looks very nice imo and well made too. I'd get one myself but it is a 70oz bladder and I need 100oz on my long summer rides. But it is very compact and convenient, which is what you are looking for.

But of course compact and convenient is all subjective. If you want a really small pack like THIS then I probably just use a couple water bottles instead.

I like the Camelback podium bottle because it doesn't taste like plastic and I like the leak proof silicon valve.

i had my crank strip (it was a truvativ's cheapest) in my old bike and replaced it with a bontrager - thought it was just a small thing but cost me 300$.

frederik, great photos of course as you always take for headphones at techpowerup!

i have a deuter daypack that i used to carry laptop and some other accessories sometimes. it has reservoir capabilities but i really don't prefer that to a proper water bottle. especially when out on the road or on a trail, the freedom of having a bare back is unbeatable!
