It is a great bike. At one time, these were Trek's top shelf all-aluminum frame road bikes. Above these you got into the aluminum/carbon frames (2xxx series) and beyond that was the all-carbon frames (5xxx series) made legendary by USPS. Im actually quite fond that this frame (and even the Matrix brand rims) were made right in Trek's Waterloo, WI, facility.

Here she is in her original form from years ago:



I never had problems with the wheels, but I hover around 155. I repacked the original 105 hubs when I did the BB, but theyve been problem free. Im actually surprised the anodizing has been retained on the rims for as long as they have.

Its pretty much a backup/rain bike nowadays, but the ride is comfortable and she still fits me perfectly. People get impressed when I tell them its only 7speed and 22 years old.
