This was my first geared road bike and I immediately fell in love with the speeds achieved on my first ride. In it's early years it was used around the city for commuting but now enjoys long country rides on beautiful summer days.

It was time to sell and get a real light-touring bike. After owning an All-City Nature Boy for a while now and loving the how it rides, I'm intrigued by the Space Horse.

Thank you! I give most of the build credit to Trek though. I only ride this a handful of times in summer so I've really only upgraded the pedals, tires, and handlebar tape. Would eventually like to improve the groupset and wheelset.

I rode the ultegra version of this on a 67 mile ride awhile back. Terrific bike and pretty comfy imo for an aluminum road bike. Definitely something you'll want to keep in the long run!

Oh I plan on keeping it. Eventually I'll upgrade components, but everything works perfectly fine as is. It actually feels better then my brother's 1500 with Ultegra!

Thanks mate! I personally love seeing our bikes out on the road, trails, and beyond, photographed during the adventures they take us on. It always inspires me to get out and ride. Cheers!
