Our
High-Performance TREK Hybrids
and Comfort Road Bikes
If you've come
to this page, the bike content is dated (older models that either
don't exist anymore or have changed from what you see here), but
you'll still learn about high-performance hybrids. --Mike-- |
You've tried to keep up with your friends, but that heavy mountain
bike just doesn't cut it. And standard road bikes seem a bit
scary, with the seat up in the air and the handlebars down low, and
a long reach to the brake levers. One of these bikes might be
just the ticket!
- More comfortable riding position for moderate
rides
(15-60 miles), with a higher handlebar and shorter top tube
- Lighter-weight frame & components than mountain
bikes & suspension hybrids
- More efficient wheels & tires to take you
further, faster.
- Wide range of gears including a really low one
that makes climbing hills easy
- Fully assembled and fit to you by our friendly
& knowledgeable staff
- Lifetime warranty on frame, one year on parts
- Lifetime free minor adjustments (not tune-ups),
done while you wait
- 10% discount on accessories purchased with the
bike (if they're not already on sale)

|
How nice and light can
you get? How far & fast can you go? If you've got a

fastest, lightest hybrid we sell. Because the very best is

 |

TREK 1200C $749.99 |
|
TREK 1800C $1199.99 |
|
What if
you want the upright sitting position of a hybrid, but the
versatility of downturned bars (which give you more hand positions
for added comfort on longer rides)?
And, because you're picky, you want high-performance narrower tires,
but with a carbon fork to take away the road buzz.
But wait- how about an extra pair of brake levers that you can reach
from the top part of the bar?
And finally, a suspension seatpost to soften impact on your tail
end.
You want this bike because
of all the stuff above, and you didn't think you could get this much
for just $750! |
|
Nearly
everyone who sees this bike is blown away that a "comfort" road bike
could be so nice!
Take the aluminum frame & carbon fork found on the 1200C, upgrade
the wheels to ultra-light and way-fast Bontrager Race, drop a bunch
of weight with an Ultegra crankset, improve shifting with Ultegra
STI levers and rear derailleur, and improve comfort & efficiency
with Shimano clipless pedals.
You want this bike because you want
a comfortable bike for longer rides, and you like the taller
handlebar, wider tires and suspension seatpost that make that
possible! |

FUN PLACES TO
RIDE YOUR NEW BIKE |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| The Loop &
The Big Loop |
|
Kings Mtn Loop |
|
Primavera
& Sequoia Centuries |
At just under 20 miles
and featuring a moderate amount of climbing, "The
Loop" is by far the most popular riding circuit on the
Peninsula. This ride can start in Woodside, Portola Valley,
Stanford...
But why not extend it a bit and take on Skyline Blvd via the most
popular Peninsula climb, Old LaHonda?
That's what we call The Big Loop, a 28-mile ride that's easily
done with any of the bikes on this page. Just take your time
heading up Old LaHonda, and refuel at Sky L'onda. |
|
After mastering Old
LaHonda, it's time for something a bit more challenging!
Starting in Woodside, head up King's Mtn (a 1600ft climb), roll
along Skyline to Sky L'onda, descend the west side of 84 to Old
LaHonda's beautiful but almost-unknown "other" side, climb that back
up to Skyline, and head down 84 back to Woodside.
Total climbing will be about 3,000 feet, mileage around 25. A
nice step up from The Big Loop on the left. |
|
The annual
Primavera Century is a great choice
for that first big organized event. They typically feature a
number of rides, from easy nearly-flat 30 milers up to very hilly
100 milers (called "Centuries"), and lots in-between. It's
held in late April, and starts in Fremont.
Another great ride is the Sequoia Century,
but we should warn you that even the lower-mileage courses tend to
be quite hilly! The Sequoia Century is typically held the
first Sunday in June. |
