For now I'm calling her Helen.Helen Wheels because she has nearly killed me today. I need to make a few adjustments, but I think it is a great bike for the price I paid. It's hard to believe it was used. It's just like new.

Lovely and Congrats on your good deal. ditch those pedals. I've got dual pedals, clipless on one side,platformon the other and have the clipless tension set loose so I can get out easily(several other folks on TE have this set up aswell I think) . Love the silver/red/ & black. Many happy miles. Jennifer

Hi Sandra,
Congrats on your Trek 1000. I just got one too, a 2005. The first thing I did was change the pedals out. I went clipless. I have never ridden clipless. Fell over twice and skinned my knee. I now remember to turn my heel out instead of trying to pull my foot off the pedal
Its one smooth ride isn't it. Many happy miles!

Sandra what a wonderful bike at the right price. Have many wonderful miles with your Helen.
Silver thanks for sharing your pics with us. You looked so spiffy in your classy trisuit. I love red and black.

I'm thinking that Sandra needs a Southern Indiana Tri Team uniform, it would SO match her bike!
Hmmmm....I guess I'm not exactly sure how to remove the stem from the headset. I'm guessing you know how to remove the handlebars from the stem since you did rotate the handlebars upward. When I got my new stem they replaced it at the shop. I watched......but I guess I wasn't paying enough attention.
BTW, your bike sure would look good with a red saddle and red handlebar tape when the time comes........just saying.......

Southern Indiana Tri Team uniform ~ CHECK
red saddle ~ CHECK
red handlebar tape ~ CHECK
I need all of the above!!
Now, let's start with saddles. I'm guessing this is the saddle that came with the bike. Not the best.
A good red saddle? I'm ready for recommendations!"Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."
