So - My new road bike

[wannaduacentury]

My new Trek 1000 is wonderful after being on a hybrid. Picked it up at the LBS yesterday after getting the stem flipped and a couple of other adjustments. I love it. Can't wait to ride!

The big problem is that DH is still on a hybrid. It's not easy for a couple to ride together with one on a road bike and one on a hybrid.

Hubby is in the market for a new bike now, BUT he has back and shoulder problems chronically and does not know if he could ever adjust to the position of a road bike. He is hoping to find the most "upright" road bike possible.

We do not ride competitively, just for fun, but want to be a little faster so we can ride farther, etc. Any ideas?

Have you considered a compact frame road bike? Trek Pilot, Giant ocr 1,2,3 the top tube slants down and gives you a more upright feel while still giving you a speedy machine. The trek 1000 is a standard diamond frame. Just a thought. Jenn

Thank you. The LBS guy said it was in EXCELLENT condition and he can hardly believe it was used. It's a 2004, but he says they haven't changed any, except maybe the seat post is carbon on the newer ones. I'm so excited about it I can hardly contain myself. What a steal I got!
