Trek Frame – Cheap Trek Bikes and Frames

JP asked:


Here is some information: It is candy apple red (I've seen some description as "Metal Flake Red" and it has grey or taupe decals. I think it's a 1999, but I can't be sure. The serial number is WTU A003181 R. Does anyone have more information for me? Is this a good frame?

Trek's website lists their 2009 models already...the 2008s are in the archives...and the archives do not list the frame geometry specs. I rode a 2008 WSD 6500 and LOVED it...felt like it was made for me..., but didn't want anything to do with the disk brakes, so I actually *ordered* the 2009 WSD 4500. (Both 14") The bike shop tells me the frame *should* be exactly the same but are not sure.

Fresh asked:


My season just ended with the last race 2 days ago, so I'm planning on upgrading my bike for next season, I would like to build my pwn bike from the ground up, any suggestions on the following components?:

- Frame (Orbea, Giant, Trek, Specialized, Cannondale)
- Deraileurs (Shimano or Sram)
- Front suspension (Fox, Mazzorchi, Rock Shox)
- Brakes (Hydralic discs, mechanical discs, V-Brake)

Any good advice would be appreciated, I plan to use on XC rides and a few technical downhills, also I have not yet established a budget, but since I'm planning on building it over the winter so I won't have to buy everything up front.

I have a frame photo of Kirk, McCoy and Spock from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. All 3 have autographed it and I'm wondering how much I might be able to fetch from a collector. It has a certificate of authenticity with it and it's in perfect condition.
I'm not really looking at selling it...I'm just curious as to how much it might be worth.

Aaron S asked:


I found a 2004 Trek 1000 road bike for $325, the frame is 54 cm. Is this a good price? My inseam is 33 inches, and I'm about 5' 10 to 5' 11...would this bike fit me well? Every chart shows a 54 cm frame as just big enough or a little too small, but is that a big deal? How much difference does one or two cm make?
