Hey all... just an update to let you all know that I purchased a new Trek 2300 58cm... I love it!!

Any suggestions for upgrades? i.e. wheels, bars, tires, etc... what, if any, are the weak points on the 2300 or is it a solid bike?

Thanks for all your help!

Looking at the specs on the site and seeing one at work I'd say its definitely a very solid bike. Of course new pedals and a saddle are recommended if you have a preference over the ones they give you (or the lack of pedals in this case). I hope you enjoy the bike.

Ah... no its not! like anything (or bike) in this world... nothings perfect, and to hear from someone who has owned one could give me a head start on, if any, weak points...."lol"

Ride and enjoy the bike now. Soon you'll realize where you want to spend the money and what you need.
