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

How have carbon Trek's changed?

I have been looking at Ebay and other places for used Trek 5200's and 5500's. It seems they have been pretty much the same for quite a while, at least the mid 90's. How have they changed if at all over the years? Lighter, stiffer more comfortable, cable routing and so on? Is there any website that has this info handy? Thanks

That should pretty much clear up the history.

Well I live near the chain reaction place and have read most of their site, dreaming of the day I'll walk in and ask for a 5200
