Trek 2100 WSD????

[Kimred]

In my area it really varies with each event. You may be just as shocked to go to another one and see a huge amount of women. (Means more comp for me LOL) Also lots of women in my area are also runners. So what races they participate in depends on what they are training for at that time. So it can be extremly varied from race to race.

I purchased a new 2100 in May and I LOVE it! I do not have the WSD. I'm 5'4", so I had originally considered the WSD, but they had none at the factory, and didn't know when there would be any available. I test rode a 5000 in my size (it has the same components but a full carbon frame) to make sure the fit was good, since they did not have any 2100's in the store. Luckily I decided to order mine right away, because shortly after that they were not taking any more orders on 2100s.

My daughter's boyfriend works at the LBS that I use, so I got a really good deal. I still spent more than I had planned on, but have not regretted it. I know that the bike doesn't make the rider.... but as an average rider, I think I get much more enjoyment and spend much more time on this bike than the lower end bike that I passed down to my husband. The shifting is so much smoother than the old hybrid I had. It also helps alot that this is probably the first bike that I had that really fits me right.

Are you looking at a 2005 or a 2006? Didn't they go to full Ultegra on the 2006?

It must be a 2005 because it still has some 105 components.

If it is a 2005, then you should be able to get a better deal than that. List price on the Trek website for the 2005 was $1679 (I pretty sure about that). Maybe you can call around to some other Trek dealers in your area. Since the new model years are out, they should be able to offer a pretty good discount on the 2005s. Of course finding your size at another shop might be a problem.

At my LBS they also mark down the price if you pay by cash or check. They have to pay the credit card company or Trek financing a percentage otherwise.

I have a trek 5000 not the WSD model and I love it. I originally thought I would be best on a WSD being only 5'4" but after trying lots of different bikes I decided on the 5000. The point about buying the best bike you can afford and saving yourself an upgrade latter was also made to me and I kept this in mind when looking.

Good luck with your bike shopping.

The 2100 WSD is a smoking bike. I tested one out too before I settled on the 1500 WSD based on my budget with pedals and shoes, computer etc. At the end of the day, fit and budget should dictate your final decision. All I can say is Trek builds wicked bikes and for a vertically-challenged individual (a towering 5’2), the WSD is a perfect fit.

I got my TREK bike in May after a long, drawn out battle w/TREK (see posts from last Spring). They just could not produce the bike after I had ordered it the previous March. My LBS came thru and located the bike in WA and had it shipped up to me just in time for a 120mi charity event. I picked up the bike on Thu and rode it on Sat. I love this bike - it fits me very well, I am 5ft1 and it's very comfortable. This was my very first roadbike purchase and it was love at first pedal. Take care and happy riding!
