The frame looks like it's a 2001 Trek 5200. Not sure what fork that is...

Edit: Nope, can't be. Didn't notice it was Alu not OCLV

There are a lot of trek 2000 and 1000 series bikes from 00-03 with USPS themed liveries. I poked around bikepedia for a while but got bored. Your turn.

And turn your seatpost around!

Thanks,tried URL tags didn't work have looked on bikepedia as unsure of model wasn't really very fruitful forks are non original as well as bars stem seat post and saddle.should have probably stated this on first post but as I said kind of said all new to this

I did have the seatpost the right way round but I've been struggling with a comfortable riding position as my normal roadbike is a boardman team carbon and when I'm riding the trek I feel like I'm tipped too far forward short legs don't help either

The original owner has told me he thinks it's a1400 and in original condition apart from the forks.The handlebars and stem and seatpost have been changed by me as stated earlier,thanks for help up till now:-)

I'm another rider with short legs and a very short thighbone who needs to turn a set back seat post around to get my knees near the pedal spindle. Even then I have my seat most of the way forward on the rails.

I have a friend who gets jumpy any time a glass is a couple of inches from the edge of a table. I always move the cups to the edge, and turn seat post backwards...

5' 9'' with a 30'' inside leg if i stand on tip-toes so yeah I don't belong in a circus but it can be akward trying to get comfortable on a road bike some times, but will persevere until I find a level of comfort that will enable me to use this lovely bike for more than my 5 mile each way commute each day.
Thanks for reply glad to know I'm not the only one with stumpy legs,I am extremely good looking for a man of my years,apparently well my missus thinks so anyway
use this bike
