Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Trek 1500???

I am looking at buying a 2006 Trek 1500 for $900 new. What do you think? It would be my first road bike.

it's a good bike at a good price, provided it actually fits you.

This time of year, you can often get good deals on bikes, especially low-to-mid-range aluminum bikes. Yes, fit is the most important feature of a bike. Get the bikes that fits you the best, even if it costs a little more.

That doesn't strike me as being a great deal on a year old model. There is nothing wrong with the bike though.
