"Well, after Mt. Bike riding for years, I bit the bullet and got this bike. Man I am in love. I think the tires ont he Mt. Bike have been flat for about 6 months, LOL! I did my first sprint tri with it last summer and it was awesome. I was thinking I was going to have to upgrade the components but they all work so well, there is really no need. I am going to get some aero bars for it and just ride the wheels off it. Look for a 2009, cause the 2010 lost the carbon stays... Boooooo."tlrmike99

(4)

Ease of use

Really rides nice for an entry level road bike.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Fit and finish were excellent. I am also 275 and have had no problems with anything, even the wheels...

(5)

Fit

I got a 62cm, cause I am 6'5"... fit me well with little adjustment. After almost two years, no real changes in fitting were necesarry.

(4)

Comfort

For the love of god, why can't the put a real seat on bikes, OR, jsut sell them without, like pedals, and you can get the one you like... hmmmmm...

(5)

Adjustability

Like I said, I am a tall guy and was able to get the fit right with little effort.

(5)

Durability

It's holding up awesome. No problems with anything.

(5)

Value

I was looking for the cheapest bike with the carbon stays, and this was it from trek. But I must say I was surprized with the "lower" level shofters.. work AWESOME!

(5)

Appearance

It's the blue and white model, and I am a Suzuki sportbike rider, so it was perfect as far as I was concerned.

(5)

Performance

Like I mentioned, have had no problems, even the Tiagra shifters have been working flawlessly from day one. Only had one tune up after 100 miles, and have about 1000 on it now... soooooo....

Strengths

Great all around road bike. Excellent bang for the buck.

Weakness

Seat... seat... oh, and the seat!!! Also, the 2010 no longer has the carbon stays so they could upgrade the Tiagra to all 105 components instead of the Tiagra shifters and front derailure. I think it's a huge mistake, cause the Tiagra stuff works awesome in my oppinion.
