"This has been a great first road bike. I've used it for 2 duathlons and five triathlons in the last eight months, have put about 1700km on it in that time. The bike has been terrific - no problems. Comes with a mixture of Tiagra and 105 componentry. Aluminium Frame. Carbon seat post and carbon forks. I have added (cheap) profile clip on aero bars, and adjusted down the bars for better aero profile. According to my scales the bike weighs in at 10.3kg - this is including the Aero bars (approx 500g) and Ultegra pedals. So pretty light bike. I have been very happy with the bike for my first season, and think it is terrific value. That said I am looking to by a considerably more expensive TT bike for next season, but will keep the Trek 1.5 for group rides, wet weather rides and road racing (if I ever do any road racing with drafting permitted).
