Looking at both bikes............Which would you prefer and why? I know which one I am leaning towards, but would like an honest second opinion for comparison. Thanks.

Thanks for the insight. After riding the Cannondale, I am almost sold..............not that the Trek isn't a nice ride. The R1000 is a sweet bike. I really like the way it handles and fits. Before riding it, I was leaning toward the Trek. Decisions, Decisions!!!

Well since you already have it,nice bike.I see supergo has it for $1450.The trek was set up better,full ultegra, but more moneyIf your just going to ride and it rides better,you got the right bike.Originally posted by Scuba Steve
Yeah, it's the CAAD7. Should have it anyday now. Upgrading the brakes, front der. and bottom bracket to have full Ultegra. Should be a fun bike! Looking forward to many happy miles.

Well i just got a fuji marseille,853 steel frame,all ultegra with a ritchey crank at performance for $1199.Go to supergo website and see what they have on sale.Originally posted by jon
I am also trying to make up my mind on which of these two to purchase. Any votes for another bike in this price range that might be even better?

This is a very interesting debate. About a year ago I had money down on a 'dale R500 (CAAD 3) but didn't complete as we moved house - blew the deposit on new SPD shoes, and parts for my mtb (just had my first crash and wanted some upgrades to make myself feel better ) Haven't done much (any) riding for a while (busted knee, work etc.) but now coming 'round to buying a road bike again, though this time with a bigger budget. So, I am thinking 'dale R1000 vs. Trek 2300 (or 5200 maybe ) vs. 853 custom steel and damn well equipped (FYI - 2300 is £1500, R1000 is £1700, Steel is...however much I want to pay for it
Issues:
1) Rider weight - 195lbs
2) Frame weight vs. comfort
3) Wheel package
4) Upgradability - what deals I can work with the shop
5) Colour (sorry, just don't like the R1000 colours. Now, the R800, that looks sweet!)
Any comments/input greatly appreciated. Deal won't be done for a couple of months, so plenty of time to give me your two cents worth!
Cheers,
Deej

Interesting topic. Trek and Cannondale are both good bikes but around Sacramento California and at this time of year it seems Giant bikes have the best bang for the buck.
