I had promised myself not to buy another bike. I’m completely out of space for more bikes, but this one was impossible to say no to.

I was having lunch at Shopping Pinedo in Asunción, Paraguay, when my friend Mauricio sent me this message:

Offer

  • Brand: TREK
  • Model: Singletrack 970 (high-end bike)
  • True Temper chromoly frame (heat-treated)
  • Full Shimano Deore LX groupset, in impeccable working and cosmetic condition
  • Manitou Answer fork
  • WTB saddle
  • Bontrager handlebar / Easton stem
  • Maxxis Larsen tires

Along with the message came a few pictures of the bike, and I simply couldn’t resist. Now I have yet another bike in my garage.

The bike is a bit too long for me, so I modified the cockpit. It may not look as cool now, but it is 100% comfortable.
