Price Paid:  $700.00 at Kohna Sports Wildwoo

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
Tour-de-Shore

Bike Setup:
Speedplay pedals
Diadora Shoes (hurt)
flux capacitor

Summary:
I love it. I ride lots of 60+ mile charity rides. It's smooth, quick and if maintained...shifts great. This week after a 65mile ride, it proved again to win me over. I was going to upgrade, but why? Maybe if I have an extra $3,000 laying around, I'll go carbon. I also might upgrade my saddle.
Unless you're a hard core racer, this bike hauls.

Summary:
The Trek 1000 is my first serious bike purchase. I currently am a road racer/triathlete-in-training. This bike has never let me down. It performs well and stands up to wear and tear well. I've never had to have it worked on professionally. I would definitely recommend this bike to a newbie!!

Summary:
THIS IS MY FIRST ROAD BIKE AND I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS A ENTRY LEVEL AND PRICED RIGHT. I BOUGHT THE ORANGE FLASH COLOR IN 54 CM AND THE BIKE HAS PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY. AFTER 600 MILES I UPGRADED THE TIRES AND ADDED A SELLE SAN MARCO SEAT FROM NASHBAR. I SHOP THERE AND REI OUTLET MOST OF THE TIME. I ADDED SPEEDPLAY CHROM ALLOY PEDALS AND RETAPED THE BARS. THE BIKE HAS ALMOST 3000 MILES ON IT AND I LOVE IT. TOP SPEED GOING DOWN THE OCEAN CITY BRIDGE WAS 36 MPH AND IT FELT GREAT. I FILL UP THE TIRES BEFORE EVERY RIDE AND GET THE BIKE SERVICED ABOUT 2 TIMES A YEAR AT BIKE TECK IN MEDFORD. CHRIS TOOK OVER FROM MR LEE AND IS DOING A GREAT JOB.

Strengths:
PRICE RELIABILITY COLOR ALUM FRAME COMPONENTS.

Weaknesses:
BRAKES

Bike Setup:
factory setup other than upgraded tires due to too many flats

Summary:
I bought this bike hen I decided that there was no mtb around the area. I went to my horrible LBS and they told me this was a great road bike and had great comps. It was my bad for not doing more research. I can't complain though this bike got 2 years of riding and have sense sold it to another new rider.

Strengths:
The bike works if you are just wanting to ride around town and not wanting to do more than 30 miles. Frame is nice but could be a little stiffer.

Weaknesses:
Components stink, tires are bad, and seat makes my butt go numb. I can't complain to much I only paid 750.
