Trek 69er
One of the biggest buzz going on at Sea Otter was the debut of the Trek 69er.
I decided to test ride it at Jax Bicycles in Fullerton, Ca. to see what the hoopla is all about. Did you notice the price tag? $2199.00 Yikes!
It has a sweet Maverick fork…and I love that color. They call it Root Beer.
Yeah it rode smooth and I see the fun factor on it on the trail. But for the price, I wasn’t all that impressed. I mean I could easily build my own 69er for way less than $2200! With that said…I think I will!
But if the Trek 69er tickles your fancy, here’s more info on it.
