Hi--I'm new to biking, and I'm trying to purchase a used Trek off of e-bay for under $350.00.
I won an auction tonight for a Trek 1420. The saler is saying that this bike is a year 2000 model. However, now that I look closer at the bike and found a few things online, I'm starting to think that the bike is older than that.
The link to the auction for the "2000 Trek 1420" is below:

I also found another bike on e-bay that seems to be EXACTLY like this one--and it is marked as a year 1995:

I need someone to give me some input--urgently! I won the auction for this bike for $242.50, which is cheap enough. However, this chick wants to charge me over $100 for basic shipping (whaaa?!) and I'm beginning to feel that someone is trying to screw me over and sale me something that it's not.
Can someone tell me if Trek made the 1420 model in 2000? Or is this bike older?
Even if it IS older, did I still get a good deal on it?
Thanks!
