Trek Road, Mountain Bikes and Frames

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

Trek Aluminum 1500, How do I know if the bike fits my size?

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?

Hello everyone,

I've still yet to find a bike for my springtime and summertime riding, but perhaps this bike, the Trek vrx 300, is just the bike I'm looking for. I hope. I can't speak for the owner or the condition of the bike, pictures are pending.

Here's what's posted about the bike so far:

very nice downhill mountain bike. paid 2300$ . longtravel judys triple crown shocks. avid shifters bontrager oversized rims full suspension frame fox racing shok under seat. aluminum frame very light

And in a followup, he writes:

it has oversized frame longtravel manitous triple crown shocks .9 cogs on back rim.

Additionally, he's asking $600.00 for the bike, a princely sum for a poor pauper like me! So, I'm bringing before you this question, is the bike worth it's pricetag (used, of course)?

Thanks so much,

PS. I'll keep this question open for a few days, as I know that he and others in my area snipe questions here on yahoo answers.

I have an option to buy a 10 year old but well cared for cromoly framed Marin mtb with upgraded wheels and brakes and front suspension, or a brand new lower end Trek also hardtail but aluminum frame. There is also a Devinci hardtail aluminum frame for about 100 dollars more. Which should I choose?

EpicRacer asked:

i have a comfort bike frame (Trek 7300) that i bought by accident because it was misrepresented as a mtb. my friend has a bunch of extra parts (taken from a Schwinn) laying around. i can probably buy all the parts i need off of him for about $75. if i build up the bike, do you think i can sell it and make a profit off of it?
