Baum, Mosaic, Peg, Trek? Above Category

Anyone else do a double take in their inbox?

The Trek is more advanced and high tech than the other three on that list. I'd ride one.

I believe they're dropping Pina. The Trek Madone is the best American-Made bika since...

Trek has been killing it lately with their top level models of the Emonda, Madone, and Domane. They're better than you'd think

I agree. Was looking at the Domane and its a cool bike. And I bet they will sell their fair share of treks.

I know. And with their custom program it makes sense. A journo friend just got a Madone from it and it is very good.

Just having fun.

Cool

I'd say they've done fairly well over the years. Would love to throw a leg over a new model. Have had a handful of road and MTB's over the years and all have been very good bikes.

Of those four, I'd buy a Trek for sure. I had a Pegoretti - nice, but not as nice as a modern carbon bike. Mosaic does little for me and Baum has officially supplanted Serotta and Parlee in turn as the most-dentist bike there is.

I own some nice bikes and rented a 105 equipped aluminum domane on my honeymoon. I was very impressed with how smooth and efficient it was. Makes me wonder what the top tier bikes ride like.

The race shop from Trek is pretty phenomenal in person. I'd get an Emonda and not think twice about it. And their secret menu geometry models are the jammy jam from a handling standpoint.

This is a good move. Treks are really good and will benefit AC, and selling through AC is good for Trek's brand. Trek has historically been a good brand to retailers.

As a former bike shop employee, I can tell you that having Trek as an option is a huge advantage.

How many more names can Trek come up with using a,d,e,m,n,o?

How about ADemon? NoMade? ADoper? DameOn?
