Trek Frame – Cheap Trek Bikes and Frames

EpicRacer asked:


i need a new bike for my next race season, and the 08 trek fuel ex line caught me. problem is, i like the frame but not the components. most of these new race bikes are coming with sram builds. im a shimano guy and i also want to have a choice for all my other components, so im looking for just a frame and shock and i can build it up from there.

I'm looking to buy a Trek 4300 with a 22.5" frame and 26" tires but I wouldn't mind finding something used. Is there a place on the Internet that sells used bikes or REALLY good deals on new bikes?

I'm looking at a '06 4300 at a local bike shop and they are asking $369.00 for it - should I just get that one?

Thanks!

Fully built with standard components, not just the frame.

Josh G asked:


I'm looking at either a 2004 Trek 5000 ($1000) or a 2007 Specialized Allez Elite ($800). I need someone who's very familiar with the bikes, or is a mechanic of some wort to give me some advice. I'm skeptical about the Trek Carbon frame. The Allez is at that price because I know someone who got bought it at staff discount and they just got sponsored, so it's just like new. I'm having a hard time deciding, because I want the best, not just best value.

Any professional/educated advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Friend asked:


I bought a 56 Size Trek 1500 Race Alpha Aluminium (SLR) today. I measured Frame 54 has a 16" long "Handlebar", where as Frame 56 has 17" long handle bar. Is there any way to extend the handlebar go get more space to hold (For the Framme 54)? I need longer handllebar. Can it be extended to 17" atleast (one more inch)?

In addition, my height is 5"7" and I wear pant size 34" X 29". The shop lowered the seat all the way, still I can touch the ground with my tow only. Whether Frame size 56 is my right size or 54 instead? How to determine my bike size?
