bike opinion Trek 1000
I found a Trek 1000 for a good price. The picture shows an original fork but it looks more vertical than many other bikes I've seen. Is this bike known for being twitchy? or is the picture just misleading, or perhaps angle of fork isn't really a concern. I'm hoping this bike will be good for general road fun, 60 miles or less, and my commuting next year. I plan to add a rear rack to it.

The guys says he is 6'7".
I don't know what components he has hooked up.
Thanks guys, I hope it's still there tonight!
