Bike Setup: Bontrager handlebars with post, and the
Bontrager seat post. Alex. wheels and Shimano derailleurs. Flight Deck brake shifters.
Summary: A joy to ride. I like the ultra light aluminum frame, with the carbon fork and posts. Until I'm ready to send the extra money for all carbon this is the ride for me.
Strengths: Balance and the excellent components that makeup this bike.
Weaknesses: For city rides you need to include a pair of in line brakes.
Similar Products Used: I loved my Panasonic Sport LX and I still use it. My Trek has it beat all around.

Summary: This bike is fantastic for the price paid. As Trek's entry level bike it is not the best thing money can buy, but it is far from the worse. I ride it almost every day to my job 10 miles away, ride it back another 10, and occasionally will do a long ride (100+ miles). I recently did one up to Cleveland from Pittsburgh. It does get a lot of flats although, riding through Pittsburgh's bad roads kill me.
Strengths: Cheap, stiff, great components, light
Weaknesses: FLAT TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!
Similar Products Used: none
