Three weeks ago I upgraded from a Specialized Sirrus to the Trek 1500 WSD and I absolutely love it!!! Started riding a mountain bike last summer, then wanted something to ride on the road, hence the Sirrus. Hubby bought himself a nice Alez and was having way too much fun on it (and harder for me to keep up with him ) so I started looking for a road bike.

My first ride on her was really strange, as you have noticed, handles so much differently than what you and I were used to. The second time out I felt much more relaxed and comfortable. Now it just feels so natural.

As a side note, Trek still lists all 105 components on the 1500 but mid year they changed it a bit and it now comes with the Ultegra in the back, which is what mine is. For the price with the 105/Ultegra mix, I felt like I got a great deal!

Enjoy your new bike!
