My New Fuji Allegro
So for the past couple of weeks I have been harping on getting a bike. I wanted so bad to have the bike that I use to ride steadily that I decided to find one and get one just like I use to have.
This bike is a Fuji Allegro and it took a few weeks but I finally got one. A bonus is that it is the same color as the one I use to have.
After a few weeks of searching Craigslist and almost pulling the trigger on a couple of EBay auctions that were either too big for me or they needed work I finally bought one. I noticed that these bikes were being listed on EBay every few days so I decided to wait for the exact one I had and that is what I won. It cost me $180 and that is about what they were going for on EBay anyway. I am happy about that.
I am pretty excited to have a bike that I loved so much and use to ride all the time. I am going to change the brakes on the bike as I like the ones that go across the base of the handlebars. Odds are I will change the rear sprocket sometime down the road like I use to have.
I am looking for a good bike shop in Brooklyn or Manhattan to get the bike tuned up. I use to hang out at a bike shop and do tune ups and stuff I just don’t feel like doing it this time. If you know of a good bike shop leave the url in the comments section.
The bike should be here in a few days as it is being shipped from Boston and I look forward to adding a few miles everyday to my workouts.
