    Trek 920

    Love my 920. I swapped out the drop bar for a flat. Made a huge difference managing a loaded front rack while riding occasional singletrack.

    Old Lock'n'roll hitch

    Also had a chance to play with the tent and annex. Annex is a little long but still works, doubt I'll use it much but it's a nice addition.
