Hi Pat,

Thanks for the post. I'm browsing around for a road bike now. I'm considering getting a Trek road bike since I already have that Trek hybrid that I do like a lot. But I am soooooo confused about the differences in the models. In this case, the entry-level Trek road bike is a model 1000. Up from there is the 1200, 2000, 2200, 2300, and then the really expensive bikes that are aimed for hard-core racing types.

Their web site lets you do comparisons between the different models, but I'll confess that I don't know enought about the different componenets to know what the best return-on-investment is with regards to price and component selection.
