Trek Navigator 200

Price Paid:  $0.00

Favorite Ride:
Dahon Espresso

Bike Setup:
Rack

Summary:
I had to give up my Dahon, which is a better commuter bike. Bought a Trex Navigator 200 as a consolation prize. It is pretty well balanced, rides well and has all of the modern necessities, braking system, enough gears for hills.

Strengths:
Alu frame, makes it convenient to ride around.

Weaknesses:
Handlebar height, much too high. I'm having a straight one refit onto the bike. The bars should be 1" below seat height, mine were 5" above seat height adjusted to the min. An overly upright riding position is not very comfortable. The saddle looks great, but was really uncomfortable. Will give it a second chance with the bars put in the right position, otherwise I will find a Dahon one, as they are the most comfortable I've ever used.

Favorite Ride:
Trek Navigator 200

Bike Setup:
Added a gel seat cover and a Led handcrank recharge headlight (works like a champ, no bad batteries). Picked up a decent two bike rack at Wal-Mart for $29!

Summary:
The Trek Navigator is a great bike. I picked mine up at a Pawn shop when looking for a bike to ride on campus. I go to a large University and typically walk several miles a day to get to all of my classes.
I wanted a nice bike but at a value price so I decided to check pawn shops.
This bike is great for me because it keeps you upright. It is a really comfortable ride, especially for my 5'11" frame.
I was going to lock it up on campus, but went and purchased a bike rack so I can take it to the state park, it is that comfortable and fun to ride.

Strengths:
Ride position. Comfort. Grip gear shift. Solid kick stand. Long cables. Good on the road and on large gravel. I even ride it in the mud occasionally.

Weaknesses:
It's hard to remove the front wheel for transport.

Light and very easy to ride, I have spinal fusion from L5 to S1 and it doesn't bother me a bit!

Summary:
Great bike. I have had some health problems and my old bike was too uncomfortable to ride. This one is wonderful. I love the upright position and the seat is very comfortable.

Strengths:
I live in rural area so my terrain is always changing. I didn't need a mountain bike, but a road bike wouldn't make it down our gravel roads. This bike is perfect.

Weaknesses:
Can't think of any, but this is the first time my bike didn't come from Walmart. So it's the best quality bike I have ever ridden.
