I am happy to announce that I have adopted a 2007 Trek 1600 WSD, thanks to Craigslist. I got into it for less than a grand too, and it looks like it could have come off of the showroom floor. The gal who had it decided after three rides she was not destined to be a roadbiker(one of those things where you try out something because your husband does it), so her loss is my gain. It specs out slightly differently than what it says on Trek's web,site having an Ultegra front derailer instead of a 105, and a Bontrager race triple crank instead of a 105. Aside from that it is stock and pristine.

I wanted to thank everyone again for their help in choosing a steed, and I am sure I will have more questions as I go along about many facets of riding.

I think you all know what I mean when I say I am beyond excited!
