Price Paid:
$1500.00
at Trek Store Model Year:
2007 Bike Setup:
Full stock except with Panaracer T-Serv Tires for general city/road riding in the Summer. Summary:
This is a review for an '08 model, though I couldn't select it in the list. I was torn between a cross bike and a road bike, and I'm very glad I went with the cross bike. The roads around here would have shredded a roady, and I'm not easy on bikes, so some beefier components are a plus. Overall, this bike has great road feel, a more upright riding position, and is pretty damn durable. I've done some light trail riding with it too (mostly cut-throughs to roads) and it handles it all very well. Solid build, good components, and decent price. Love it. Strengths:
Steel! Don't be a weight weenie. Cross top levers are great. Nice groupset Weaknesses:
Haven't found any yet, though the stock tires aren't my fav Similar Products Used:
Tested several other road bikes at the shop

Price Paid:
$1700.00
at River City Bikes Model Year:
2007 Favorite Ride:
Road and Rails to Trailss Bike Setup:
Cantilever brakes. Wide spaced chain rings and wide spaced rear cluster, Terry Buzz-off seat, Crank Brothers pedals, Continental 4 Season tires 700x28 with liners 90 to 95 lbs (I'm 6'2" 195lbs and ride the XL frame). Summary:
The 08 Poprad is the most comfortable road ride I've ever experienced. On rough roads or rough bike paths it is just great - much better than my carbon fiber Trek road bike and only a bit slower. No single track experience with it yet. Strengths:
Smooth ride. Comfortable riding position. Weaknesses:
1. Must change to lower and wider gear spacing or it really isn't suitable for hills. 2. Many shops don't realize that the cantilever brakes must be toed in toward the rear (toward the oncoming rim) to get power and to avoid fork shudder. Similar Products Used:
Trek carbon fiber road bike.
Titanium rigid mountain bike with fast tires.
