Trek 1200, Light, Priced Right
Reviewed by: PalmettoNewbie, Mon Aug 22 2005
Price Paid: $700.00
Pros: Extremely light and well set up from the dealer.
Cons: Poor saddle, even for me
No lie, I am a big guy and this bike rides comfortably and doesn't seem to mind that I am a HOSS. I would suggest that if you aren't really comfy with road bikes to not give this one a go. The gear shifts and brakes are not what you remember from your childhood bikes. They aren't bad, just different. I am all out impressed with this bike. I got a great deal at the end of the model year on it. I am a mountain biker that is gearing up for triathlons, so I wouldn't say that I am an experienced road guy, but I am a bike guy. This bike needs more road time than I can give it, but it has spent countless hours on a trainer and it's awesome.
