What do you all think you know about me based on my bike: A 2006 Trek
1500. I'm not asking you to guess what I do for a living or junk like
that, but rather stuff about me as a cyclist. How serious am I as a
cyclist? How important is this to me? How often do I ride? Etc..
Etc.. Etc.
It's a Trek: You are serious enough to have bought a real bike, but
the brand choice could have been made for numerous reasons including
(but not limited to) having seen that Lance Armstrong rode Treks,
having seen lots of other riders on treks, having direct experience
with the product line, or having read reviews in magazines or online.
It's a road bike, but not a high-end unit: If you're new to cycling,
you might have greater aspirations than experience, but you didn't buy
a 1500 for its snob appeal...or if you did, the guys with the Madones
are now snickering about your cheap POS. If you're an experienced
cyclist, I would guess that you won't be using this bike for
competitive events. You would presumably not have spent this much to
leave it sitting at home; it might be for commuter, recreational or
training usage, but as it's not so specialized as to predicate a
specific type of riding, it's hard to draw much in the way of
conclusions about the frequency or method of usage.
Anybody with the coin could buy a 1500. A poseur would have bought
something fancier (and carbon), IMO, so I'll hazard a guess that
you're either a newbie or a relatively serious (though perhaps just
occasional and/or recreational) cyclist. Beyond that, you could be a
hermaphrodite with a Flock Of Seagulls haircut, only one nostril and a
lucky glow-in-the-dark snorkel fetish, for all I can tell.
