Is a trek 4100,4300 good first bike?
I went to the bike shop today and kinda liked the trek bikes they had. I will be riding gravel, dirt, and pavement. I will also be riding some offroad. Are either of the bikes what I am looking for? The price ranges were about what i am looking for. The bike shop guy said both of these bikes were great for beginners and can be upgraded. Any insight would be appreciated.:confused:

They are both good entry level bikes. Being that the 4300 is 8 speeds (counting cog rings) and lower gearing, and the 4100 is 7 speeds, I would go for the 4300. They do seem to be upgradeable, I would only do so as parts break.

My motherinlaw and a sisterinlaw both have the 4300.They are a really good starter bike.They have had no problems at all.THe fork would be the first thing i would change down the road though. By the way which bike shop is it at.IS it the one by Faulkner Univ?If so i was in there a while back and those guys seemed real knowledgeable and were extremely nice.
