my name is joe eby, i am a runner by trade. But due to a unfortunate injury this past weekend, i broke my leg, i will not be able to run for quite some time. I have always been interested in cycling but never had the time to get out and ride. I just graduated from college and got some grad money. I was looking to get a new road bike, i was looking at trek's. I was wondering if anyone on this board could help me with where to look for a good price. i am 5' 10.5" they said i would need a size 56. Please let me know if you can help. My email is eby@run-insight.com. I want to do serious riding and racing this summer.

thanks a ton,
Eby

I have the Trek2200 and l love it. It is not a racing frame but it has carbon (fork, seat post and rear end) to absorb the road. It is the best value of the Trek 2000 series since it has Ultegra where it is most important and 105 in other areas. The bike really moves. But this is really personal preference. I would suggest riding a lot of bikes to compare and see what you like.
