That looks badass. I absolutely love any Trek I have ever owned. You cannot beat Trek for value. It always seems whatever bike you are looking at, is $300-$500 less than the equivalents from the boutique brands, yet you give up nothing in quality, in fact it is usually the reverse. You pay less, and get more. Plus I have never had an issue with service. I have had 2 warranty claims on Trek bikes, and they always take care of you.

My Devinci has a cracked fork, and they want nothing to do with it. In fact some jerk wad at their head office in Quebec, told me to F off, and be patient on the phone when I called wondering where my fork I have been waiting for 2 months was. Said I should be happy with a mismatched fork that they originally sent me. Will never deal with Devinci ever again. It is a shame, I expected more from a Canadian company. Only Trek going forward. I would consider Cannondale, as I have had a couple in the past, I just find they don't fit me well anymore, I can never get comfortable on one. They have funky geometry for big guys. They go from being cramped, to being for big giant gigantor people. No middle ground it seems.
