Hi everyone! I have been mountain biking for a few years but am new to this whole road cycling thing. I just picked up this 2006 Trek 1200 today for $500, which I thought was a pretty good deal according to my research and a few friends. I am still need to play with the seat and stem in order to fine tune the fit plus pick up so new pedals. Again, greetings!

My first roadbike; an '86 Centurion LeMans RS
I just changed out the wheelset and was promptly hit, so the Reynolds wheel is brand new while the rear is an older Campy hub w/ a Mavic rim and Suntour 7 speed freewheel.
New handlebars and tape, but everything else is original.
I can't decide whether or not I want to change the front BioPace cogs, so I'll just keep 'em for now.
I love this bike and ride it whenever I have a free hour or four.

But I love them
My road toys. Hardly the latest/greatest, but plenty sleek and sexy for me. Both were built last month.
2002 Felt F50R, Reynolds Ouzo Pro Peloton fork, Ultegra group w/FSA Compact cranks, Neuvation R28 SL2 rims
???? Caloi Strada Pro, Ultegra cranks, 105 brakes, Cane Creek levers, Mavic MA3 rims
I had forgotten how much fun riding a freewheel single speed is until I finished it a few weeks ago. I highly recommend building one for thrashing around. (Fixed gear on the street is the bicycling equivalent of wearing a hairshirt IMO).
Anybody know anything about the Caloi other than it's Brazilian and what's on their website? I'm very curious about this frame but haven't found much on it.
Have a good ride!

I'm brazilian. Caloi is the most famous bicycle brand here in Brazil. Note that in earlys 90, it tohether Eddie Merkx were the bikes of pro Motorola Team (there are some pictures with Lance using a caloi). If you want, I can send you by mail some pictures. Actually Caloi have two models of road bike, both with Sora (entry level) - I think because here bike is very expensive. The site is www.caloi.com.br

Took some more pics of my bike with Speedplay X5 pedals and a Cateye computer. The shoes are Shimano R151 with the carbon soles... It's pretty darn stiff I gotta say A new saddle is next, either a Specialized Toupe of Selle something.

However I had some severe soft tissue damage/bruising and still haven't got back on a bike yet. Hoping to be able to ease back into it soon on the trainer for the winter months
Be careful out there!

I just bought a 2006 jamis ventura comp from the shop I work at. I got the employee half off discount and the 06 left over price because they are now making the 07's. The bike will get delivered wedsday from fedex and build it after I get out of school. This is the first road bike I have ever bought so I am pretty damn excited. I ride an 05 Jamis Dakar mountain bike right now.
