Joe is just starting out and wants to know which bike he should be spending his money on? He has a fancy for a Trek 1.5 and he wants our thoughts on whether it will suit his needs. We have taken a guess at what he wants and taken a look at the Trek
Question: Looking to get a road bike. Haven't done a lot of riding but was looking to get into it quite seriously. Was looking at a trek 1.5 08 which seemed pretty good from looking around. Unfortunately my knowledge on the subject not great so any other suggestions for bikes would be great.
Hi Joe,
The Trek 1.5 is a very sporty bike indeed and at a great price. Bontrager wheels and cranks mated to Shimano Tiagra and Sora gears, the frame is made of Alpha Black Aluminum and the forks are carbon Bontrager race. Most of the other bits are also from Bontrager which is all good stuff, not too expensive. The frame design is slightly sloping with sensible geometry for speed and comfort, the head set is hidden making the frame look sleek and sporty, it's a well thought out bike that look better than it's price would tell you it was.

Cycle Training Mistakes
I Think I need your help;
I have found a vintage road/race Bike in a Chikens Cage, on a farm at Lima, Peru., I bought it ( The bike plus twenty years of chikens shit covering it) by US$ 4.00. I would like to restore the bike, but I can not find info about, It is a "Velocipedi Garozzo" (Italian of course), with Campagnolo / Magistroni acc. looks like early 60s because derrailes (Campagnolo grand sport) has metal round wheels whitout teeth. Frame was originally Chrome plated (now rusted).
If someone has or knows some info/pictures about "Garozzo" I will thank you so much
Regards
Carlos
