Boston Mass :: District
Here’s another great commuter District in Boston Mass. It’s sporting some nice Brooks extra’s and a BOA stem. Here’s what Abbi had to say about her new bike.
I just got my hands on a District of my own. Its beautiful and perfect for my commuting needs (fast and low maintenance). And for all of the critics on other websites, no it does not need to come stock with fenders. So ugly, and pointless if you change when you get to work. If you don’t get a Soho or add fenders! The dropout is actually quite interesting, with the wheel removable while the dropout stays adjusted to the correct position. It looks very easy to change a flat, but I have not had to try yet. According to one Trek employee, developing the dropouts, not the Gates drive were probably what caused the delayed release of the bike. He was in sales though, so that was mostly a guess on his part.

That is correct, frame alignment was a little more difficult with this frame than those with fixed dropouts. Thanks for the interest and support!

Oh dear, it looks like the last bits of the lines got cut off. I swear, I do know how to write decent English. -Abbi
