Hi Everybody,
Funny or not so funny how I got here.... Have owned, ridden & loved and my 2011 Trek Remedy 7 all over CO/UT. Such an awesome bike. We were going to Tuscon about a month ago with our bikes. The dealer where we buy our bikes gives free annual tune-ups to buyers. My Remedy was fine but I thought I might as well, so in she went. I told the service. Mgr. "You know, it may not be the newest or most modern, but it's so damn good I don't think I'll ever replace it." He agreed. I get the call the next day, expecting to hear it's ready for pickup. Me: "Hello?". Them: "Hey it's us. Uh, there's a problem." Me: "In my head I'm thinking chain, maybe new cassette." Them: "Actually, it's a bad problem." Me: "?". Them: "Somebody stole your bike". Me: " Say what????". Them: "We didn't see it happen, but on our video we saw a guy walked into our store, go all the way to the back, through the closed service department, and the next thing was we heard the emergency exit door alarm go off. We didn't see anything missing but started to inventory everything in the area where the customer bikes are kept waiting for service. After reviewing everything, we determined yours was the only bike missing". Me: " Crap".
We just bought Carol a Specialized e Vado at Christmas but I planned to stay with my Remedy. I didn't want to give up good singletrack performance and we didn't have the $ for a good lightweight singletrack e-bike. After riding with her, I realized I couldn't keep up with her. The dealer offered to replace my Remedy with the current version. I thought well, if they'll credit me for that, and there were new Trek e-bikes on sale, maybe we could do it. Their Fuel EXE 9.9 XX1 AXS was on deep sale, so with the credit, we got the bike. It's cool, and has been impressive in the little bit I've gotten to ride it. I hope you enjoyed my story more than I enjoyed my journey getting here!
