@CaptainMalick NEVER buy a bike from Walmart or any other dept. store. Their employees are trained to sort items on shelves. Bike shop employees are trained to professionally tune/repair/disassemble/reassemble all types of bikes. Walmart bikes are from no-name manufacturers, break down much quicker than real bikes, and are generally unpleasant to ride because of their "one-size-fits-all" bikes and poor components. A real bike is custom fitted and rides faster, smoother, and lasts much longer.
I was going to cannibalize my mountain bike into a road bike (drop handlebars,slick tires,roadie levers) ect but have just found out my bikes frame is getting too small for me, Should i sell it (giant boulder SE) and get this?
@predatorguy07 Well, I have the 1.2, which is about two hundred dollars more, & I would not trade it for anything. It's helped me get into racing condition which I was not at this past summer. Go get it. Besides, "cannibalizing" your own bike ends up being more expensive most of the time. I'd highly recommend the 1.2, & i'm sure the 1.1 is basically the same quality.
@littlebbjesus yeah i got a job and am joining a club/team so im getting (depending on how impatient i get) a madone 3.1 or a madone 4.7 because a 1.1 really would not cut it in a criterium eh
I have the 2011 model in black/red/white and I am really loving this bike! I bought for commuting and because I want to get into shape. Its a sweet bike :)
@seansfilms thanks, I bought it for my wife and she has really enjoyed it. hoping it holds its value when we get ready to upgrade. I think this is an 09. Not sure
Hardcore music, not a very hardcore video! Hahaha

@predatorguy07 If you are an experienced rider then you should probably get a different trek than this one.

@CaptainMalick you should never buy a road bike from walmart. if you go to a bike shop they know what their doing.

Is it possible the change cage pedals on this bike for clip pedals? Thanks

@ivanrow Yeah, no problem. I guess since it's an entry level bike they sell it with those pedals instead of the pegs.
