I agree. The trek1000 is a very solid entry level bike. Several women in our club started on that bike, some even still ride it. It is plenty light for racing, it just won't be as plush feeling as the higher end bikes, or keep its tune as well. The price on the used one sounds great, so use it to get started, see if you are bit by the cycling bug, fine tune your fit, so you'll know what you need in your next bike. Remember you also need to budget money for a helmet, shoes, clothes, etc., so going easy on the first bike makes a lot of sense.

Silver learned to ride on a Trek1000! Solid bike; saw her through 5 flips at 30 mph, 5 broken ribs, 1 collapsed lung, a broken wrist - and she still rides it!

I ride a Trek1000 and I have no complaints. It's a great bike. If it is in good shape, that sounds like a deal.

Thanks for all the responses. I got it! I have not put the wheel back on to take photos, but I attached the pics she sent. It looks brand new. I think this girl rode it 4 times maybe.
Now I just have to wait for the snow to melt. Though today it was over 1" of rain.

Looks just like mine!
You'll probably want to change that Bontrager saddle. (None of our Treks have their original saddles anymore. OUCH!)
Congrats!

Beautiful bike Mkidd! And I agree with Tuckervill regarding the seat. My Trek's original saddle was the same, ouch. 5 miles on the original seat and I was sore! I love my specialized women's dolce saddle.
Again congratulations on your new bike!
