Just for fun, take a look at the Bianchi Brava, too. That was my first road bike.![]()

"Keep plugging along. The finish line is getting closer with every step. When you see it, you won't remember that you are hurting, that anything has gone wrong, or just how slow or fast you are.
You will just know that you are going to finish and that was what you set out to do."

I'm another Trek 1000 rider. It's my first road bike (bought this past summer), and after riding hybrids since I was 9, well, what do you expect?! I like it!![]()
There are some drawbacks that have been mentioned here already. As to the fit, I am riding the standard 1000, but my LBS did switch out the stem for a shorter one. The stock bike might need some modifications to truely fit, but I think that could be true for any bike.
If you have the oportunity to do so, look at other bikes as well. I and my LBS wouldn't have known I needed a shorter stem if I hadn't test ridden a few other bikes. Plus, I like my bike, but you may find a different bike is better for you.
