Hello, Im new to the road biking fun and Im curious about my current bike. I have a 2004 trek slr 1500 that I have been riding for the past 2 months. Just wondering how this bike stacks up against a newer bike ($1500 - $2000) price range. It feels great but just wondering if its worth upgrading to a newer bike. I understand it really comes down to the engine (me) and have been working to improve every time I ride. Just wondering if the newer bikes offer anything over my 10year old bike. Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi .. stop worrying about your thing being inadequate.. why wonder go take test rides & find out .

Now go back to work Note: your boss can find out you have been using the computer at work ..

Welcome.

The only reason you NEED a new bike is if it is broken beyond reasonable financial repair or it is the wrong style for the type of riding you enjoy. If you WANT a new bike and find one that makes you happy then it is worth the money. Welcome to N+1 fever
