I went in to buy a Trek 1000 and ended up with a 1500, a Trek helmet and a Wrench Force pump for $995. Great bike shop and the people there are the best. Love my 1500 with the Ultegra rear and 105 front. Shifts are crisp and clean and the triple helps an old man like me climb the hills in WV.cam117 said:$829. I went in to buy a Trek 1000 and walked out with the 1200. I love the bike, but I just can't help thinking that I'd love a Trek 1500 just that much more if I'd ponied up the extra cash.
Maybe I'll take the extra money and go put it twoard a bike for my wife so she can come along with me when I ride.
Nah - I think I'll buy some race wheels.

I bought a 2006 Trek 7.6FX for $550!
Here is my story on how I got my bike.
A little over a month ago I decided to start riding to regain my health (I've been battling Severe Ulcerative Colitis). So I went to my local bike shop to purchase a hybrid Trek bike (a 7.2FX to be exact). I bought the bike for about $400.
I was happy with it and used it for about 1 week.
For some reason, while I was browsing eBay for things I decided to search for some of the higher priced Trek bikes. I really like the FX series for the kind of riding I do so I looked for one of those.
I found one! It was the 2006 7.6FX in red. The starting bid was $600 and it had no bids at that time. Plus shipping was about $60.
I did not believe it when I saw it but the location of the bike was in....You guessed it! Where I live. In Las Vegas. And to top it off, it was literally less than 2 miles from my house!
What are the chances?! Seriously.
So I emailed the seller and recieved a phone call later that day. I told her that I wanted the bike and was willing to pay her $550 immediately. She agreed to sell it to me. Of course, I had the problem of returning the bike I just purchased which was not a problem at all...thanks to the return policy at the bike shop! I had 14 days to return it. I found the bike on the 13th day! I swear!
The seller agreed to stop the auction once I returned my bike. After I did, I met her with cash in hand and bought the basically NEW bike from her!
The bike had just 50 miles on it and was spotless!
I am totally happy with it and can now do some more agressive riding.
With my heart monitor on and a cycling computer, I am good to go!
Was this fate or what?
I thought some of you might get a kick out of this story.
Happy Ridin'

So far it's all added up to over $3,000.oo and I just love it. The Longest outing so far was 4hrs 40 min.off-road Ya Hoo
depends on how well the bike rides. I didn't try out the more expensive models of bikes because I couldn't afford them. I wanted something similar to what I had purchased from k-mart about 20 years ago for about 90.00...Darkhorse85 said:i spent 775 after tax on my '05 Jamis Ventura Sport with upgraded wheels and components about a week ago. it came with pedals too, but theyre kinda crappy clipless.
