Im getting the same answer here on the Trek's. End of august, beginning september is the consensus. Everyone here is sold out of the 2004 1000's. Good luck getting a new bike though.kenright said:My LBS said that my 2005 5.2 "should" be here at the end of August. If not, then by early September.
If there are no major changes in components and/or frame material, then I would get the 2004 if money is a concern. It should be on sale and the 2005's should reflect a price increase. At least that is according to my LBS. All the 2004's are on sale at very nice discounts.mdbrown said:thanks for the info. i checked with the local trek dealer earlier today and they said basically the same thing. they still have a 2004 trek 1000 in my size at $519. do you think i should go ahead and just buy that or wait for the 2005?
"...they'll drop the price on any remaining 04 models...." That is the kicker, if there aren't any left, then you're out of luck. You could always put an 04 on lay-awaymdbrown said:my LBS said $519 is their normal price and that they'll drop the price on any remaining 04 models when they get the 05's. i'm thinking 05 bikes might be difficult to get when they come out. in the past, how hard are they to get when they first come out?
I agree, it is strange. But from what I have heard (from 2 independent sources), the Postal Service will still participate in sponsorship. But it will be a "quiet" type of sponsorship. Turns out that not too many people believe they should be paying increased rates on postal stuff to sponsor a sport that isn't as popular as, say baseball.kennf said:Seems strange that Trek would issue USPS colors/logo when the team will only exist for another five months.
What is the price on a Madone 5.2? Is it an OCLV 120 version?

It is not on their website yet. I also found it, through an eBay member selling a Madone 5.2. Trek has replied to me that the specs will "officially" be released at the end of August.ItalianStallion said:How did you get the address?
I have been looking on the trek website for their other models, and couldn't find any!!

DEAFCON: When did your LBS say that you would get your Nude 5.2?? I originally wanted nude, but the wait would have been too long. I was told (as was my LBS by Trek) that the white/blue would be released first. Did you hear the same??

Also one of my local bike store said they already have one, but i bought a Fuji Team bike last week instead.
this is good. it seems the 2005 1000 is almost the 1200 of last year and for much less. i think i'll hold out for the 2005 now that i see these specs.Fuji Rider said:
I don't imagine you have ridden it much but how do you like it? I am debating between the 1500 and 2100. I am just starting to ride so not sure I need the 2100. Didn't realize the 2005 had the carbon seapost. Does yours still come with the front tiagra? I too, like the 2004 color scheme better. I believe the 2005 is mostly white with some red and blue towards the front?mksalazar said:I just got home from the LBS and purchased my 2005 trek 1500 for $1019, its $20 more than last year but you get the carbon seatpost and bontrager stem, not bad for twenty bucks. however, i like the paint scheme on the 2004 better.
