My New Road-raced bike

I already have Trek-4300, Not that i did not like it. But i wanted to try somthing different. On the ride of 23rd March off Sarjapura Road, i saw Rishi's road bike. And i was sure that i want to try my hands on a road bike. Called-up many friends, every one said dont buy Firefox-2200. Thiough it is cheap but not worth the mony, go for Trek. But the Trek ones will start @ INR36000/-. I really did not have that kind of mony to spend on this.
That evening i was just browsing through and came across this write-up on bikeszone. Goth the number of Mr. Ashwath Kapoor from that and called him up, he directed my to Venkat who has the direct dealership of Marida in Bangalore, i got Venkat's (9844020861) number from him and fixed on one 2nd of march to meet-up. I went there biking on Trek-4300 and went to his place with Sri (Of TDH fame).
The shop itself is in a 1BHK house on 1st floor, but mind you dont go by the size of the shop. He has all the kind of bikes and accessories. Yup, Prove me wrong if you can .. i challane you this ... every thing he has .. name it ....
Fixed on the entry level road-bike from Marida called Marida-880. I got a really cool deal for this bike along with the Paddles (with the shoe-clips) and bottle cage and biking t-shirt and ...... all for freeeee
Rode that back home.
Well ... The next day i was going for a long ride to Nandibetta :-)
And i will take my new beast ......
