Questions about a Trek 1000

[bike4ever]

On average, your road bike should easily be able to accommodate a 700X28 tire. I've seen some style tires that are a skinny 700X32 work.

I get to check it out tomorrow. I'm excited. For what it's worth, it also comes with an opened, but never put on cyclocomputer. along with a saddlebag, and spare tire.

I don't really need any of that, but I won't complain.

Sounds like quite the deal!

Ride that puppy, and if you experience Bike Love, buy it!

Yep, with all those extras, that's a heck of a deal (and it's really sounding like it wasn't riden much!

After our local tri last year, we were talking to someone we knew who got her Trek 1000 at a garage sale for $500...and we thought that was a deal!

This sounds like a great deal! I do love my 1000. It's been a great bike! I do still ride it a good bit.

Oh, but you will need all of that soon!

I have several friends that ride trek 1000s. If it fits, its a great starter road bike, and at an excellent price. Heck, I know several even moderately experienced riders on them. GO FOR IT, and post pictures!!

Well, I actually already have all of that, but I'll take it.

I paid $500 in March for my 2006 Trek 1000 WSD. I think that's a good deal on that bike. You should be very happy with it.

I GOT IT!!!! It was bike love at first site. Even after she threw me onto the ground (ooops, not used to pedal straps) and bruising my hand and wrist, I was still in love.

I have never seen a "used" bike that was so unused. The chain and everything is so shiny, it doesn't look like it's had any dust on it. I believe she did only ride it once and that must have been the test drive off the showroom floor. It is perfect. I love it!!!

HAPPY DANCE!!!

Congrats! What color is it? Have pics?

Geoff (my BF and LBS manager that sells Trek) says that you can do up to 700x28. Any wider and there won't be enough frame and fork clearance not to mention you'd have to deflate and reinflate the tire to take it off and put it back on.

Go for it! I love my 1000!
