Pascale,
the two problems you mentioned with the Trek are something they could
easily change for you in the store; so if you liked the bike it might be worth it to say "I hate the handlebars... and i want different pedals" and since they want to make a sale, they'll be happy to change them out for you. They might charge, but it's just not a big deal to change these things.
