Hi Everyone,

I've been waiting a few months for this, but my new Trek Equinox TTX 9.5 came in last Friday.  Rotax14 has one on order as well and we have been going back and forth with the latest updates from our shops for a few months now.  I'll let him share his terrible story on here if he wants, but hopefully we'll see some pics of his soon.  I upgraded from the Sram Red to the Force and also got the carbon handlebars.  I've gotten a few rides in on the rollers and I'm REALLY lovin it!

Very nice!  I like the monochrome color scheme!

I'd love to hear how you like the Red group.  My new bike has Red as well, but I haven't picked it up yet.

Also, is that wire from your PT or do you have anothe computer?

Hey Andrew,

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way the color scheme came out as well.

That is the cord for PT.

I also forgot to mention that I changed saddles.  Someone else that recently got one of these told me they couldn't stand the saddle so I just switched by ISM Adamo Racing saddle right away.

LOL, there isn't much tiny about this thing.  Its an XL and its actually the only bike I could find that would fit my 6'5 body properly.

I guess my perspective is skewed. The bike looks really stubby to me.

Nice looking bike from what i see in a Google Image Search. Congrats!

The way the picture is showing up makes the bike look squished...It's just the persepctive in the pic...

I noticed that you changed to the ISM right away...good price? Where'd you get it from?

Thanks,
Kevin

I must have messed up resizing it because when I first uploaded it, the image was enormous.

Kevin,

I ended up getting the saddle on Ebay for a good price ($140 with shipping I believe).

The picture is fine. It's just that the display settings have forced it to be square. Right-click, view image (if you're using Firefox) to get the original. Or, if the OP can go back and edit his post, change the display size to 800x600, or something of that same ratio, like this.

The bike saddle "horn" looks like it was chopped.  Is that a new design saddle?

Very Nice. 

Are those Bontrager or HED base bars?  They kinda look like the Hed Corsair base bars.

Thanks!  Everything is Bontrager.

As for the seat, I just got it a few months ago so it may be a new design, but I don't think so...

Sexy bike. Why did you go with the white cables? Did you want them to match your handlebar tape?

I does look pretty mean...

Mine is a 9.8 TTX WSD. I need a super small frame so 9.9 was out of the question (XS 47CM)
Apparently the rep in Wisconsin went down to the production floor to figure out where it was at. I haven't talked to my LBS Since they did that earlier today. SO hopefully it should be soon.

I ordered mine Dec 14 and the original Promise by Date was 1/29. Clearly that is out the window. The guy who ordered his 20 minutes after mine was put in the system, just received his last thursday. I can only hope mine is soon. I have a feeling my small frame is throwing things out of wack.
