This bike rides like a dream. Only paid $400.00. Came with all the latest componentry. Shimano Tiple shifting and brakes. Shifts very smooth. Extremely light, Bontrager carbon forks and seatpost. Ultra light aluminum frame. Eats the hills up. I am primarilly a runner but this bike fits the bill. The wheels are true. Just bought profile aero bars for tri.s. Very pleased.

Price Paid:  $800.00 at freeflite cycling

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
Century

Bike Setup:
Stock w/keo classic pedals.

Summary:
I got this bike to try road cycling. I am hooked. Put in 3000 miles the first year. Very good beginners bike with 3rd front ring. Nice to know its there if you run into some steep hills. Stiff frame to build on. Upgrades can always be put on better frame if you like riding. I would recommend this bike if your on a tight budget and are looking for the most for the money.

Strengths:
Stiff frame. True wheels.

Weaknesses:
Shifters are tabs and brake levers so constantly changing hand positions.

Price Paid:  $650.00 at East Providence Cycl

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
Any time on the road

Bike Setup:
Specialized Toupe Saddle, Ultegra 6600 Shifters, Derailuers, Chain, 105 brakes, Ultegra 6600 wheel set with Michelin pro tires, Ultegra pedals and a Custom Shimano 11-27 rear cassette. Speicalized Stem and Ritchey Headset with Carbon spacers. Great Bike for Hilly Rides.

Summary:
Bought the Trek 1000sl Flare Duotone after using neighbors Specialized Allez in a Local Tri. Stock the bike is great for entry level riders who ride 50 miles or less. Saddle is junk, and components are ok for short daily riding or commuting. Love the stiffness for climbing and comfortable ride. After upgrading components the bike handles better then a 2500 or newer 2.5 and is comparable to igher end aluminum bikes. Bike now weighs in @ 19.25 pounds I will have this bike for a long long time!!!

Strengths:
Stiff frame, easy ride, great entry level bike. If you want to upgrade it is well worth it. Durable and cool colors. Responsive and good grometry.

Weaknesses:
Stock components good for only around town and not for hills. Saddle is terrible and the Sora thumb shifter tend to break easily.

Similar Products Used:
Specialized Allez, Giant OCR.
