Trek 1400 or Cannondale R600?
Hi,
I'm keen to get into Road riding to improve my rapidly declining fitness and have narrowed down my options to a Cannondale R600 for $2,250 or a Trek 1400 for $1900 (Are these prices reasonable?). I'd appreciate any advice, is it worth paying an additional $350 for a better frame? Thanks in advance, Ed -- |

I think either would be more than adequate for your needs. I've got the 1400
and have been happy with it, although you should be able to do a bit better than $1900. I'm not sure of the specs on the Cannondale, but if it's equipped similarly to the Trek, you can't really go wrong. Tyres, tubes & knicks are my only ongoing costs ;-) "edcook24" wrote in message .. .

I would go for something a bit left of center. The Cannondale. I got a
2nd hand R3000 that was 3 years old and hardly ridden for $2.2k and it's a beauty. Don't rule out a 2nd hand bike and save $$$$, check out www.hippy.net for a list of 2nd hand bike sites. powinc -- |

Thanks in advance, Ed I would probably go with the Cannondale, and I think you'll find the standard equipment on it is pretty good. Having said that, i have a friend who has a 1400 and it's niiiice. Tough call, probably better to test them both and go with what feels best. If you got the Trek, you could spend the saving on shoes/pedals/upgrades etc. -- |
