Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Don't want to get ripped off - Buying a used Trek 2000

Hey everyone,

I am new to road bikes and I am looking for a road bike to commute about 18km a day during the summer.

I have my eye on this bike https://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-s...AdIdZ115961208

It seems to have 105 parts, a front carbon fork and alright condition. Do you think it's worth getting? I am having a hard time finding opinions on the trek 2000 so any negative or positive opinions greatly help


Thanks!

for $500, it's good, if it fits you.

Yeah $500 CDN isn't bad at all. Enjoy those climbs up to the Citadel!
