FS-47cm Trek Pilot 1.2 WSD

**Zen** · 02-17-2009, 09:54 AM

Only ridden 750 miles.
Road bikes are just not for me

Here is a photo and specs.

For some reason this bike is shown with toe cages. It does not come with them.

The lever for the front STI is there but shifting on the front rings is currently done by bar end friction. It can easily be reconnected to the STI but you might find you actually like that friction lever.

Asking $700 plus 60 for shipping by the bike shop.

PM with questions.

Mumble mumble. This is exactly what I wanted for commuting. But alas I do not have $760. I wonder why Trek stopped making these? I liked the upright concept.

If I was not in Canada and you in the USA, I would seriously consider it. Just to own a bike that was previously owned by Zen.

I think 47 would be a bit small for me though.

AA- This wouldn't be a very good bike for commuting unless you planned to carry only what was on your back. It's pretty much an entry level road bike.

I could negotiate some on the price but not much.

The pilot is the twin to my Giant OCR1. I'll be interested how she sells. I've found the root of my issues and it's that my frame is tooo big for me. I wanted to upgrade to carbon anyway. When I find it, I'll be trying to sell her. And yes, a good entry level road bike if the size is right for you. Good Luck

Zen, how tall are you?

I'm 5'3-1/2". I'm suffering from top-tube length troubles on my road bike (a 54 cm Trek 1000). I'm not looking for a new bike, but hey, you never know!

Tucker- I am 5'2.5" with a short torso, long legs (read definition of WSD frames). I ride a 47cm Cannondale, rode a 48 cm Fuji. Depending on your inseam it might fit. I do wonder how a 54cm could be the right size for you? Unless you have really long legs but then the flip problem you usually have a real short torso so the TT gets way to long.

Tuck, I'm about the same dimensions as Aggie. fit really isn't why I'm selling. I think the fit is fine, I just never felt fully in control with the weight distribution on a road bike.

I'll be replacing this with an upper level FX

What's your inseam? I'm 5'1 - and my bikes are either 47/48 cm with a compact geometry or the surly frame I just bought is 43 cm. My inseam's about 29 inches.

A 54 cm bike seems awfully big for your height - but maybe if that bike has really sloping compact geometry?

Are you sure you don't need a new bike?

**Cataboo** · 02-19-2009, 07:35 AM

*cough*

I think a new bike might help her

**Zen** · 02-21-2009, 01:45 PM

Sold!

**Tuckervill** · 02-21-2009, 03:19 PM

Wait, wait, did I just buy a bike?

Karen

**Zen** · 02-21-2009, 04:16 PM

Craigslist buyer. You can relax

**Tuckervill** · 02-21-2009, 04:51 PM

whew! My mind was racing, thinking about how I could raise the money without my husband knowing! lol.
