Strengths: Frameset, crankset, brakes, shifters, etcWeaknesses: Seat post, pedals, saddleBottom Line: About 2 years ago, I purchased a Raleigh SC series hybrid. This bike gave me nothing but problems, so I was determined to go with a Trek the second time around. After much deliberation, I chose the Navigator over the 7x00 series, and couldn’t be happier with my choice. The 500 comes with extremely high quality shifters, crankset, hubs, and brakes, and the geometry is perfect for the kind of riding I do. My only complaints with this bike are the pedals suck for spinning, the saddle is comfy but cheap, and suspension seatpost are horrible in general. Once I’ve lost some weight, and become a more experienced rider, I’ll happily buy Trek for life, and upgrade to an 7700, or the future equivalent.

Strengths: comfortable, nice sram shifting systemWeaknesses: not a fan of spring loades seatpost, switched at the shop, seat and pedals not so great. Tires struggle at first with large ridersBottom Line: Last year I purchased a 2001 Navigator 400 and was recently stolen, I replaced it with this years 21 inch model 500 which I actually like better, Components very good, I love sram gripshift better than last year's pushbutton system. This bike can handle me and I am 6'6 and 400 pounds, THe 400 got me down from 450, I hope this one will get 50 more off. My ultimate goal is cannondale silk adventure 2000.

Strengths: The comfort, the ride, the bike.Weaknesses: None, none, and umm... none.Bottom Line: Awesome with a capital A! Very comfortable and easy to ride. The Sram Smartbar is unique to look at and shifting is a breeze. I'd be riding it right now, but I'm typing. Plan on spending many fun filled hours on it this summer. A great city bike.
