Matrix 750 700c

Shimano Ergronomic Saddle

Shimano indexed shifters, 24 speed (3 front 8 back), Sigma BC906 computer, Trek interchange trunk bag and panniers, front and rear LED lights, planet bike fenders, and a hacked together cell phone/GPS holder on the stem.

This is my first real bike. I got it for myself as a college graduation gift. It's my grocery getter/commuter/touring bike. Riding on the Katy trail with the new seat is a real pleasure.

I almost exclusively ride the Katy & MKT trails (both have a packed limestone surface that's almost as good as paving most all the time) so I don't do anything too rough, but better safe than sorry. Besides, the seat belongs under me and nowhere else ;-) Thanks for the warning.
