if you get any small nicks on your District, (i have one on the very tip of the front wheel drop out) Testors Enamel Paint Marker in Gray #2538 is a near perfect match to the District’s paint.

Georgia,

I assure you this really is a fanboy site. I started it when I first heard about the district last year. I couldn’t believe no one had registered the domain name so I did. After I contacted Trek to see what kind of insider info I could get. Eric has been nice enough to send me some exclusive info, like the pic of the 2nd District. Feel free to google me … Creede Fitch. All my other sites are about modern architecture and design.

About the gearing..

I believe it’s a 4.8 gain ratio – 55T/22T/175mm cranks

so i have a couple Q’s
first, i’m really curious is this really a fanboy site?
it certainly feels like a ruse by the folks at trek- with a post from “Eric, Trek Brand Manager” straight up kickin’ it on here? – which ever is cool with me. maybe he knows the answer to the 2nd District pic …
AND NOW – - –
the real question – what is the gearing on this bike, specifically.
are other beltrings available? considering using this as a trainer, already in process of converting my mtb to carbondrive sys – gonna be wicked!

A lovely bike. Some of the specific details/bits could be better but would raise the cost.

As a conceived package at a certain price point, it is excellent.

More importantly, it is soooo much fun… riding with a single speed in the urban metropolis becomes a joy. Smooth, silent, grease free and stress free. I have been liberated from my previous bus led life.

I am a convert…

Dupont Teflon Multi-Use spray is excellent for keeping the belt ultra quiet. If the belt binds slightly or makes minor noises. Use this, it is outstanding! I used it on my District and it runs even smoother. Harley owners who use the Gates belt drive have been using this for years rave about it. You can buy the spray at Lowes.

Just got my trek District from a trek deal in brooklyn last night and its amazing. It was kind of hard to find but once I passed by a bike shop in Bay Ridge and saw the owner putting it together I Was like YEAHHHH babe I got to have it and I love it. The saddle completes the good look of the bike but it really hurts riding on it I thought that was because its been 5 yrs from the last time I rode a bike but after reading some reviews and seeing that a lot of other are complaing about it I do agree. However if I look into buying a more comfortable one I would definitely consider using the leather frioom the real saddle to sew it up on top of the new one just to keep that cool look. I totally agree with Nick as far as people asking about the bike, its only been a day and I had to answer a lot of question but hey who cares Ill get used to it soon. I love it and can not wait to ride it every day. One question does anyone know any cool fenders that I could purchase and match it with the bike. Trek Doesnt have any for it.

thanks a lot

i just got my trek district yesterday and went on my first ride this morning. i havent ridden bikes in a long time, and this is my first real skinny tire bike, but i love it, although i do seem to out pedal this bike. maybe im a better rider then i give myself or maybe i need a bigger chain ring, but this thing climbs awesome, so light and nimble. i did put some spd pedals on and i havent ridden spds in a long time, took a a little spill trying to remeber to kick out while waiting for traffic so i could cross the road. but all is good.
