Trek Frame – Cheap Trek Bikes and Frames

uppercanadagolfer asked:


I am 5'11"" tall and measured my inseam to be between 34 and 34.5 inches. I think this puts me between a 56cm and 58cm frame according to my calculations. I am trying to choose between a 2008 Trek 2.1 ( 56cm frame ) and 2008 Trek Pilot 2.1 ( 58cm frame ). The Pilot is supposed to have a more "comfort"-fitting geometry, but the frame may be a tad big. I honestly can't tell as this would be my first road bike. The Pilot has upgraded components with Shimano 105 ( front derailer and brakes ) and Shimano Ultegra rear derailer. The regular 2.1 has 105 rear derailer and Tiagra front, and Tiagra brakes. Though I am told, and it appears to be accurate, that the 2008 Tiagra brakes are the equivalent to the prior year Shimano 105.

I am not a racer. Other than taking both bikes out for a long ride, what else should I be considering? I've tried them both out in the "fitting" machine and find the difference marginal. Just don't want to be disappointed either way. I was told the 56cm is a better fit but that the 58cm frame could work - but is at the limit of a good fit.

Only about a $240 difference between the two bikes ( $1,150 vs $1,390 ).

Any input would be appreciated.

I am torn between the two bikes. I am a big guy standing at 6 feet tall and weigh around 260 lbs. I want to take leisurely rides and I've ridden both at the store. I think the Trek sits a little further back toward the back tire, which fits my frame and body better, but I don't find the Specialized uncomfortable. I just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions as to whether one is that drastically better in quality than the other.

Would a TREK 3700 --- 18'' --- bike frame fit me perfectly?
Or should I go lower, or higher?

I know bike frames vary, but I would just like an educated estimate from someone knowledgeable on this topic

thanks

I have a bike lock that i like to keep on my bike. The holder is latched onto the frame. It locks tightly on the frame and i am worried it will screw up my new trek 2100 carbon frame. Should i be worried?
