Strengths: Blue-collar bike with reliable Shimano 105. Didn't require a divorce to afford it. Wheel set, even though not top end, have a "chi chi" factor of 7 or 8.Weaknesses: Paint, rear brake cable routing, phantom creaks when standing (although I killed that cricket with a thourough maintenance and cleaning.)Bottom Line: 2001 Trek 2200D - Pretty decent bike, especially at the discounted price and I have to agree that the spec parts are equal if not better than other bikes at this (discounted)price point. Rolf dual-spoke tech. wheels are spiffy and get a lot of comments.
The cable-routing collars for the rear break are poorly placed under the toptube and catch sweat, making the cable more susceptible to rust and the rear break sticky. Also, at least on my bike, the paint is substandard. It's bubbling in several spots and has pealed clean off those little cable collars after only about a year and a half's riding.

Strengths: Good looking
105 works great.Weaknesses: Frame
Sizeing.
Be sure to get the right size,Treks fit way to small.
They measure from center of the bottom bracket to top tube.
Be sure your dealer fits you correctly.
I am 6'2'Bottom Line: I don't like this bike!
First of all Treks are sized way to small. My 60 cm is smaller then my new 58 Specialized Allez. My new bike cost the same at full price as the Trek and comes with Ultegra/ 105 mix. The Treks frame transfers every little bump in the road, it wears me out after 20 to 30 miles. The frame is just not sized well, which could be part of my comfort issues.
I didn't realize how much I don't like this bike until I switch from my Allez to the Trek mid-ride. Five miles on the Trek wore me out more and was more uncomfortable then 60 miles on my first ride with the Allez. My brother, who I switched with, couldn't belive how smooth the Allez felt.
If you are looking to buy one of these used I have a 60 cm that you can have cheap

Strengths: light weight,
good looks.
carbon fork (not a great carbon fork, but it's a carbon fork)
Weaknesses: beware of the stem. some of the Icon stems were recalled, check and see if yours is the one that was recalled.
handle bar very flexy
pedals stunk (Icon spd)
Bottom Line: decent bike for the money. i got it for 1299 on closeout. that's just about where this bike is worth to me. i will not pay more then 1300 bucks for this thing. it's only got 105 components after all
Price Paid:
$1300.00
Similar Products Used: None
Bike Setup: look 296 pedals, profile H2O stem (Icon stem was a recalled stem, LBS didn't bother to tell me)

Strengths: Great value and looks the partWeaknesses: Saddle
Tires, tires, tiresBottom Line: Fantastic bike which has given me a lot of fun with no real problems other than usual maintenance, The original tires we're rubbish, i have never had so many punctures and the saddle was very uncomfortable indeed. Otherwise great, i even talked my dad into getting a Trek, but he got an OCLV - show off!
Great for regular recreational riders who want the propper kit at a good price.
