bstinoutlafin: @bstinoutlafin Do you still like your Trek Lime? How much does it weigh?
Thanks! Jun 22, 08

ReviewWritingGuy: #trek_lime I have been riding my Lime for a week now. It rocks! Living near the beach, I was simply going to get a single speed beach cruiser. The terrain is relatively flat. But, there are some inclines in the neighborhood and the low 1st gear makes them effortless.

Not being afraid of shifting gears, or hand brakes, this bike visually appealed to me because of it's stark simplicity. It looks like a bare-bones generic bike, and should appropriately have one of those generic grocery store labels that says, "Bicycle". Without any brake levers, cables, and multiple chain sprockets it appears and functions as easy as it looks.

The automatic shifting works really well. It's also easily user adjustable by turning a simple screw on the computer module, (mounted underneath the crank). You can set it so that it waits until you are peddling madly to shift to the next gear. Or, you can set it to smoothly shift as you slowly pick up speed. Most people will likely set it somewhere in between to their personal preference. Dec 17, 07
