Specialized Sequoia vs Trek Pilot

So is the Pilot 2.1...I love mine. I've never tried the Sequoia, so I can't help you on the comparison.

I've had a sequoia pro for a about a year now... It's a very comfy bike and rides well. With the carbon seat stays, seat post and fork you don't get much vibration from the road and it's a pretty smooth ride. BUT - it's not a pure racer. I keep up with the guys on the racers, but it's still heavier and the geometry is different. Personally I'm going to get myself a nice Ruby S-Works and keep the Sequoia for commuting and some light touring.

I've broken my promises to DP and paid for the Specialized Sequoia Elite. When I test rode it on Saturday the LBS guy said that they may not be able to get another if this one sells since Specialized and stopped production of the 2006's. I'd already decided that this is the bike I want so I just called and paid for it

Now, I'm not sure when to pick it up. I'm signed up for a ride on Saturday September 9 and wouldn't have a chance to ride this more than once before then. Between this and my plan to swap pedals, seat, and accessories from the old bike to the new I figure I'm best off waiting until after the ride.

I can't wait to bring my Sweetums home! I'll post pictures!

Oh, come on, ride the new bike. The first time I rode my Specialized Sequoia Comp last year was on the Civil War Century (metric). What a nice ride, and excellent food at the pit stops! The bike was great on all those hills. How long can it take to swap out the seat, pedals, etc? A couple hours? Go for it!
