Trek 1000 Alpha Series road bike - is $250 good
I am interested in purchasing my first road bike. I have found a 2001 Trek 1000 Alpha Series for $250. The bike has been in storage. It has a custom aluminum 54 cm frame. Installed cyclo-computer ?? and Shimano clipless pedals. Is this a good bike to start?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Well, if you don't know the basic of fixing a bike, you might consider asking if you can take it to an LBS to have them check it out. Then again, for $250, it's kind of hard to make a bad decision...

I bought a virtually unused version of that same bike that was a 2000 for 350 and I thought I got a great deal. Same size too. I say go for it, although the red, white and blue is less cool than the yellow, IMO. Crassic has the 2000 version as well and he seemed to like it.
