I would like opinions on this bike. I'm a newbie beginner rider. I have the opportunity to get a Trek 1000 used at a very good price ($400 or less). It is a 2004 and supposedly has only been ridden once. It is in mint condition and is the correct frame size (52) for me.

I have a Giant Cypress DX hybrid and have been wanting a road bike, but an expensive bike is not in the budget right now. This opportunity popped up and I am considering it and wanted opinions.

Another question ~ can the Trek 1000 handle a little wider tire than what comes on it?

Thank you for your input!
