Looking for more info? Trek's website is the place to be with spec's, MSRP, and info about their impressive urban lineup, including the Eco Design, Portland, Allant, valencia, PDX, Soho, and District lines.
Want to hear more about my time riding it? Look for Issue #5 on your local newsstand March 9th. But you are proably already subscribing and will have the issue deleivered by the fearless postal service weeks sooner than that, right?
