2009 Trek 1.5 (Low Mileage) $800??
2009 Trek 1.5 with about 100 miles logged.
Includes Crank Brothers Smarty clips.
It looks as though this could be a good value, considering the market (small-town Montana).
Apologies for the small low resolution pictures. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

That's not enough of a discount to forgo the manufacturers warranty and shop support.
You might as well order one off the internet.

Its priced at the very top, IMO. If its in like new condition, it might be worth it for your market, given your comment.
Its a very stiff, yet very responsive bike. Has pretty much the same component group as the 1.2, with a slightly better wheelset. To be honest, I can't feel any difference between the white and black aluminums, but supposedly the black is better.
Sora on that bike is very finicky. I spend virtually no time in the lower gears, so I've given up trying to get smooth shifts across the entire range, and concentrated in the outer cogs/rings. Once you get it, it just works, but plan on a few rides before you are happy.
Oh, and plan on dumping the saddle and buying a good Selle Italia or Fizik. It would not surprise me in the least to hear that the current owner is dumping the bike simply because its not comfortable.
