$340.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Comfort, stability. | | Weaknesses: | Some components are low to mid level. | | Similar Products Used: | Trek Mountain Track 800 | | Bike Setup: | Tektro brakes; Sram twist shifters; Shimano 102 front derailleurs; Shimano Alivio or SRAM 5.0 rear derailleur. | | Bottom Line: | Decided to purchase two '05 Trek Navigator 200's several weeks ago- one for me and one for my wife. Both are nice, comfortable bikes for our mostly paved country road riding. The only thing I wasn't real pleased with was the rear derailleur on mine (Shimano Alivio) wasn't smooth on the downshifts. So my LBS fixed me up with a Deore LX which is far better. My wife's bike has a SRAM 5.0 which is very smooth shifting.Would highly recommend this bike for "easy riders" like us. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$305.00 | | Purchased At: | The Bike Shop | | Strengths: | Gentle but sturdy ride. The wide tires make it a stable platform. Comfortable to ride on, like the product name implies. The bike is solid, with well-built components and tubing. The brakes are first-class. | | Weaknesses: | The bike would be a better value if it had Shimano's next-level derailleur. The donward angle of the top tube, along with a high seat can make it look like a kid's bike, but only if you like the smaller (18.5") frame rather than the larger (21') frame. | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | I had not been on a bike for quite a while. I found the Comfort 200 to be an economical re-entry into bicycling. That, combined with an easy ride, has made biking a pleasure again. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
