Trek Pilot

That's amazing. And depressing.

The trek bike website does have a search for a dealer. That's probably gonna be your best bet.

If that doesn't work, maybe the PA bike clubs -http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/6213/pa.htm - can help you find the larger stores?

I was lucky. My LBS had a sister store that had it in stock so I could try it.

This is sad....now I feel lucky that I have so many choices in bike shops to go to.

Has this shop ever sold a Pilot or Pilot wsd to a woman before? Could they refer you any customers who have purchased Pilots? If my bike shop asked me to talk to a potential woman Pilot buyer, I would be happy too...for that matter, if you want to come to St. Louis, I'd let you test out my 50cm 2.1 wsd

If your bike shop considers this a high-end bike, why aren't they bending over backwards to try to sell you one?

I failed to ask the owner if he had ever sold one to a women before. I'll try to contact him today. The idea of making a contact with someone in my area that owns one is a good one. I was thinking I might need a regular Pilot in a 52cm but the Pilot WSD in a 54cm. Not sure though. I'm 5' 5 1/2 inches with a 30 1/2 inch inseam. That is why I really need to test ride them.

I took my bike into the shop this morning for a pre-MS150 adjustment. They said that it's really hard to get any Pilots right now....the 2006's are almost gone - they only have 5 WSD's left (1-1.2, 1-2.1 and 3-5.2, in various sizes) The only 2007's that are available are the "Project Ones" that are more expensive because of the custom paint jobs.

You may want to email Trek and ask them when the 2007's will be available, and what bike shop has the largest inventory in your state. Hope this help with your search.

I've had my Pilot 2.1 since March 2005 and really like it. Smooth ride. I purchased a mens 52 cm and I'm 5' 5". I tried the WSD and it felt cramped in the reach. The fit on the 52 cm is near perfect. Best of luck in your decision.
