I am poised to make my not so triumphant return to cycling this spring after a 4 year hiatus. I'm looking at road bikes in the $1000-$2000 range. I like the 2003 Trek 2300, but I have not been able to find any posts from riders of that model. I was hoping to keep costs down by getting last year's model (all aluminum). My most recent bike was a Cannondale mountain bike so I am somewhat familiar with the harsh ride. The carbon fiber stays of the 2004 2300 sound nice but the price has gone up. I am also interested in the Douglas Fusion through CC, but I think my lack of road experience would make sizing an issue. I appreciate any tips, advice, or dire warnings. Thanks.
