Trek 2200 Road Bike Reviews

Price Paid:  $600.00 at Harleys BIke SHop

Model Year:
2002

Favorite Ride:
Hwy 378

Bike Setup:
Triple chain rings, 12-25 rear cassette, cyclometer, have rear white light that I set on blinking and a rear red flashing light to increase my visibility. Will add shimano ultegra pedals and a new chain soon as the chain is slipping when on smallest front chainring. Added new bar tape over old to increase cushioning on bars.

Summary:
First bike I've owned in 25 yrs. Last owner put a triple on the front and aero bars. I did one triathlon and use the aero bars most of my riding. I like the bike alot. Lightweight enough, responsive, shifts well, comfortable - longest ride has been 30 miles.

Strengths:
Lightweight enough for me. Really like the aero bars. Like the components - shifts well. Seems stiff enough and not set up too upright like a true tri-bike.

Weaknesses:
I am almost 5'10" but think it is a bit large for me. I put a cheaper seat post on to move seat forward and bought a 85 mm stem to shorten it (came with 110mm). This has made it more comfortable but still wonder if I don't need a smaller frame? Came with SPD pedals and after 4 yrs plan on replacing with road pedals soon.

The has Ultegra coponents. It is not as stiff as the Cannondale but has great climbing power. Comfotable on long rides. Excellent for me.

None I can find.

Price Paid:  $350.00 at used, but originally

Model Year:
2005

Favorite Ride:
Washing Xing State Park, D+R canal

Bike Setup:
stock Shimano and Bontranger with added cycloputer, dual cages, slicks on for tires for added speed

Summary:
Great bike, especially used. I was looking for a bike with at least carbon parts and this fits the bill perfectly. It's stiff when needed, accelerates quickly, and is light enough on the hills to allow lots of hill practices!

Strengths:
Carbon fork and alpha AL parts make it light, fast. Shifts well, but with a little clicking, the tires and wheelset are great and apparently well priced.

Weaknesses:
The seat sucks and will be replaced, but that is clearly a personal choice and I could, if needed, live with the stock one.

Favorite Ride:
MS 150 Jack & Back

Bike Setup:
stock for 4yrs - Ultegra & 105 mix.
Just changed to compact crank (FSA Gossamer)
Race Lite Wheels

Summary:
Excellent bike for the money. I'm 160lbs and have over 5000 miles on the original set up - mix of Ultegra and 105 components. Race Lite wheels are great - front wheel required truing after T-boning a Rottweiler, but was still rideable for a month till I made it to the shop. There is no flat ground around here and it performs fine on the hills. Just changed to compact crank from the original double - much better for climbing. My daily trainer, group ride, and century bike. Was using for triathlons too (with aero bars) until I upgraded to TT specific bike.

Strengths:
Light enough, responsive, yet comfortable for century rides.

Weaknesses:
Decals are all peeling off.
