Frank VDate Reviewed: May 8, 2013
Strengths: I have 1999-2k model that I ride everyday, averaging 30 miles per. It is a very strong and reliable frame, brakes work very well and rims can take a beating. Mine is orange and white; forks and seat post are carbon fiber and absorb shocks very well.Weaknesses: only slight weakness is the need to adjust brakes often but for an old bike they work very well.Bottom Line: Very good bike overall, wouldn't trade it for anything else. I also have a Specialize but I use mostly for rides to the store, etc. My trusty old 1k is just to awesome of a bike to ride anything else on the desert roads of the Coachella Valley.

Strengths: ValueWeaknesses: -Bottom Line: This bike has saved my life when things were rough. It was my introduction to road biking. I can't say enough about this bike, Trek really does a great service to the bike culture, offering a very strong frame, and good components. Snot nosed rich kids will criticize the Sora componentry, and it is Shimano's entry level line, so upgrades can be pleasant however it is very sufficient, and regardless if this is your first road bike or you have been in the game for a longer term, you can take this bike home feeling good about your purchase.

Strengths: Sora shifters, no really!! Still going strong. Strong, stiff frame, excellent paint quality.Weaknesses: The stock seat as with many was a total razor. Original wheels were functional but slow. Poor quality spokes on machine built Alex rims.Bottom Line: I love my 1000!! Its been tried and true over many bumpy, rainy, crappy miles of Portland winters. Now set up as my rain bike commute-o-wagon. Its a no frills ride that has always treated me right. Even the low end Alex rims went 20,000 miles before they gave up the ghost and only 3 spokes.
Favorite Ride: willamette waterfront loop
Price Paid:
$579.00
Purchased At: bike gallery
Similar Products Used: Trek 2.1, Lemond Nevada City, Kona Paddy Wagon.
Bike Setup: Shifters and cranks are stock. Everything else is random craigslist add ons from over the years. Thomson post and stem, salsa handle bars, 105 derailleurs, new old stock ultegra brakes, mavic frankenwheel set up laced to felt hubs, sks race blades. Shes not so pretty anymore but still goes fast!
