My first road bike :)
Hey all,

Got my very first road bike today, bought it new from a LBS...

Trek Series 1.1

Did I do good? It seems to fit me well and I like it a lot so far

You sure did. Trek makes very good entry level bikes that last. I had a 2001 Trek 1000 that I rode 30000 miles on in 5 years then used it for my winter bike for another 5 years before I sold it for 250.00.

The bike still had all the original Sora components on it at the time of the sale. I went through loads of tires and chains everything else held up well.

If the bike fits you properly and you like it then you did great.
