Advantages: Lightweight, Good componentry, Reliable Disadvantages: A little front-heavy
The Trek 6000 is part of Trek's year 2000 range, and as such is still selling in the shops now, often at a knockdown price. I managed to find mine in a sale close to the end of 2000 at £500, dropped from £625.
For your money, you get an Aluminium hardtail frame, In-Sync forks, Dia Compe brakes, a chainset which is half LX half LX Deore and a smattering of Bontrager components for various other things.

In use, the Trek is a dream. It handles many types of terrain easily and should the need arise, it is fairly easy to get it off the ground. ...

Advantages: good for off-roading Disadvantages: no rear suspention
you get an Aluminium hardtail frame, In-Sync forks, Dia Compe brakes, a chainset which is half LX half LX Deore and a hell of a lot of other components for various other things.

Advantages: Very light Disadvantages: Not many around
...caught my eye was the Trek 6000, I knew that it was a year old model but that wouldn't bother me. The first thing I done to the bike was pick it up and I was amazed with how light it was. Then I checked out the spec, the rear derailleur is a Shimano Deore LX and was adequate for what I wanted. With the bike being a hard tail it only had front sus, it was an "In Sync 453", and it has four inches and is adjustable. The rims are "Vuelta double rimed". ... ...Well its six months down the line and I have no regret's with buying the 6000. Adding the Magura's was even better. With adding the brakes it brought the price up to £650. Nice I think! I thoroughly recommend any Trek but in particular the 6000 or higher. ...
