With all the ragging on Trek.... Let me offer this as to how Good a company they are.... Dude warranty is Phenominal. Every little thing i have sent back gets covered. Get this One of my customers Had her Trunk Fall shut on her nice 6 month old Madone frame<The Carbon cool road bike> and is Crushed tge chainsatys and Trek gave her a new frams for FREE. Dude what company you consider good would do that... that an Expensive frame to Give away when they clearly didnt not have to.. My Next ride willeither be a VP Free or Session 77. Cant ebat the Performance for the Price. Oh and to add just for info.... Im not 15 i have ridden other bikes already so i know teh different feels to know the style of suspension i like!!!!
