Bikes: Trek

The bike is a 56cm frame and I know it is a no no to ever buy a bike not knowing if it fits you but I wanted to get into road biking and a friend of mine had this bike and let me have it for 150 bucks. So I didnt think I would find a better deal than a Trek 1000 for that price so I had to go for it, figured I could ride it and get some base miles under me and the fit felt to close not to grab it. I've done a few 50 mile plus rides on it so far and it feels fine other than anything above 10 miles kills my left elbow when I stop. Its not a constant pain but only when I move my arm a certain way or try to stretch it out completely. Alot like tennis elbow I would imagine. Anyways, the pain is there the rest of the day as I described but once I sleep and wake up and everything is back to normal the next day until I ride. I've checked handlebar width,fore/aft position,saddle height and all of those seem to spot on. So last option is the stem to check out and if that didnt help then I would just bite the cost and save for a pro fit to be done with the matter.
