Hey all,
I'm new to the forum. Getting back to road biking after many, many years. I've narrowed my search for a new bike to the 2010 or 2011 Trek 2.1. I've placed a small deposit to hold the 2010 model while awaiting arrival of the corresponding 2011 model for comparison. The Trek 2.1 is mostly Shimano 105 components. LBS price for the bike is good.
There are only minor changes (saddle, handlebars, cassette, brakes, tires) in equipment between the 2010 and 2011 models. I'm thinking the final decision will be mostly color preference/cosmetics (black 2010 or platinum/blue 2011).
I rode the 2010 today on a trainer at my LBS due to rain. It felt good. Good to be back in the saddle. My uses for the bike will be primarily fitness and possibly group rides as I meet riders in my area.
I appreciate any opinions on this model or model years....any preferences, cautions, etc??
Advice appreciated...
Regards
