This old bike series | 2004 Trek 1500 | Strip and Prep.

Industry Description:
Rocketing down serpentine descents, flattening hilly centuries, and scorching the blacktop: the Trek 1500 does all that and more. Its Alpha SL aluminum frame and carbon fork are light, stiff, and velvety smooth for all-day comfort. The Mavic wheels slice through the air and effortlessly accelerate out of turns. Plus, the 27-speed Shimano drivetrain and dual-pivot brakes make it easy to expand your riding horizons.

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”
