Advantages: Value, Carbon Fork and Seat post Disadvantages: Sora shifters
...The Trek 1000 is an excellent value for money Entry level Road bike. The increasing demand for road bikes is a result of Triathlons huge and continuing success in the UK. There are few bikes in the Market which geniunley consider that ther are those of us out there who don't have a couple of grand to chuck away on a carbon bike, Enter Trek.
The 1000 is serious value for money. The frame uses the same geometery as was used for 7 timeTour de france winner Lance armstrong and if it's good enough for him ... However the material is clearly not carbon but Aluminium however the from Fork is carbon and 2006 version also has a carbon seatpost, i beleve they have phased this out in the 2007 edition.
The Gear setup is pretty low end. Sora Shifters, Tiagra Rear mech, and shimano standard everything else. However you do get what you pay...

Advantages: Excellent 2.1 inch knobbly tyres, fantastic brakes Disadvantages: Slightly heavier than similar spec bikes
...stop you when YOU want them to, not when they choose to.
I found out the hard way though - fat, knobbly tyres and a sturdy frame can make the uphills very hard work, but the range of gears supplied do as much as they can to ease this for you. Getting fitter will probably help me too - I'm working on that!
I can't talk technical about brake specs, suspension/forks, gear ratios but this is a fantastic entry level mountain bike for anyone wanting to get into the sport.
I am so pleased with the bike, so psyched about cycling and I think choosing the right bike is partially to blame for this! ;-)
I have already bought new SPD pedals - there's nothing wrong with the flat ones that come as standard - it is just the magpie-like draw of 'shiny things' and my quest to become queen of the mountains!!...

Unfortunately i have to give this product my very first "Very poor", as i bought one and was deeply inimpressed with the slow reactions and unhelpful assistance of the software manufactures.
The Logic 3 PS2 Carry Kit barely fitted my PS2 slimeline,... more
