Good Troll, I love how you wouldn't buy a Trek, but would buy a Giant.

Genius.

Love Trek bikes- i would say not so much VW as BMW but still brill anyway...
Its a shame however that some of the 29ers (esp Superfly hardtails) seem to be overpriced especially compared with Giant xtc 29, Grand canyon 29 etc.... it was the same with the top fuels, great frame but components pretty basic for the price..

Emily Batty... Yum... I wondered how far i would have to read this thread before a pic was posted 😉
Anyways, I have worked in several bike shops over the last 12 years and always considered Trek to be the "beigest" of bikes, but they have stepped up their game so much in the last five years or so that I truly believe they are hard to beat for off-the-peg. Also the warranty is crazy good. They would probably be the first brand I would recommend to someone these days... And no, I don't work for a dealer. I would say Gaint and Scott now battle it out for the beige title 🙂
Anyway, here's another pic for good measure [img] [/img]

Maybe you should tell your employer how hard you try to push the Trek brand and keep his shop and your wages going...

Nice troll though. But there are a lot betterer subjects to really get the feather spitters going. 🙂

There are some things that you just can't argue against. 🙂

Sidestepping the somewhat predictable Batty biscuit game, I've got a 10 year old Trek that is still going strong. When the forks broke, Trek replaced them under warranty with no questions asked.
They were 9 years old.

I'm staying away from "extreme sports" birds for a while....

they try to out man/emasculate you.

Gets tiring, especially when they get moody after you've beaten them.

A marketing man's wet dream. I wonder if anyone at Trek asked them to do some 69er promo pics.

Well this made me laugh. Yes I just wanted to get under the Trek fan boys tits. To the person who said why would you want a Giant over a trek or whatever he said, well firstly Giant are the biggest and the Trek you are probably riding is more than likely made by Giant or Giants materials. Ooops. Also Mondraker's are the dogs bollocks. Orange bikes ride better any fan boys who say they suffer from brake jack are wrong. Single pivot bikes no longer suffer from this very often least of which the 5. Ummm also Cotic's are cool. Even the Rocket has grown on me. With that, bye.

This has to be one of the most well thought out and informative posts I've seen here. Thanks for the well thought out argument and eloquence in delivery. You should consider a career in marketing when you finish school.

Coincidentally, Lance did the exact same

I don't know much about their mountain bikes but the 2012 Madones have been given very good reviews and compared with the other majors are very competitively priced.

I bought my first Trek road bike this year, but I would admit that for the last few years I have stuck to Spesh and Scott.

I have heard or read mixed reviews about their warranty but I have no first hand experience. Touch wood.

POSTED 1 DAY AGO # REPORT-POST

Actually I work in the aviation industry now, so fortunately that gives me the luxury to impartially comment based on over a decade of experience.
Thanks for the pep talk though...

Troll in 'inadvertently correct' shocker. Single pivot bikes generally suffer from brake squat, not brake jack.
