remicman 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?
I just ordered it today, it comes to me this weekend (I hope). I actually caught hardcore upgrade fever and replaced my 2004 Trek 1200 after only having it for about a month (I sold it on ebay and broke even). ANyway, I don't see much of a significant difference between the 1500 and 2100 as far as compnents go. The 2005 Trek 1500 no longer has the Tiagra front derailleur, they replaced it with a 105T, also the 2005 has an SRAM crank while the 2004 had a Bontrager (I personally like Bontrager better). I really wanted the 2004 1500 b/c of the superior colors and decals but instead function overcame appearance and I took the 2005.
I don't know the weight difference btwn. the 1500 and 2100, I guess that woulid be the only real difference since most of the components are pretty much the same. The 2100 comes with pedals tho! Haha.
