    2008 Treks

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Trek has updated their website with the new 2008 bikes! I am drooling over this one:

    I want it, I want it! Look at the pretty paint job! Oooooh, I really want one! But I must control myself.

    I buy bikes like most women buy shoes

    Okay..., I gave in, I clicked the link

    A very pretty bike....

    But then I got a little sad. I clicked on the 'change country' link (at the bottom of the page) and there it is; A dull lifeless website for the UK

    Just check out the difference, and note that the UK site doesn't have women specific equipment The US site is exciting and inspirational, UK is flat and dull. Which is why I ususally buy my cycle wear stuff from the US, I don't want to always wear Black, Blue Red or Grey

    I'm thinking this would be a great commuter. Never mind that I already have a mixte I fixed up to ride to work. After all, it's 1.5 miles. I need a spare, right?

    That's right. You need a back-up bike.

    Am I missing something, or have they cut out the starter ranger Pilots and such? And are there fewer WSD choices, or am I confused?

    I'm just glad that the Pearl Pink paint is still available! My baby is being PAINTED by Trek right after the Tour of the Ozarks! I was worried that it couldn't be done as they would drop the color with the new model year. She MUST match my pink Speedplays (and I want people to know that I'm a GIRL as I buzz by )

    Hmmm, a Madone that isn't OCLV?

    That Madone 4.5 looks like the same material (the TCT carbon) and componentry (105/Ultegra) as the 5000 I bought this year...which I got for considerably less. Hmmm.

    Methinks thou shalt hunt for a 5000, Sara. Though (whispered) I like the looks of this one better than mine.

    No, I think you're right. There's only one Pilot listed--where are the rest? And all the non-Pilots--gone. Hmmmm.....

    Though I have to agree that that Madone 4.5 is one hot customer.

    I'm swooning. She's so beautiful.

    DH said I could get a Madone on one condition . . . he gets one too. If I could only find that $10,000 I left laying around. Think I'll go check the couch cushions!

    I noticed the same thing...there are not as many models or choices this year. And a lot fewer WSD choices. Maybe Trek decided to cut out models that weren't selling as well? I was disappointed with all the "missing" bike models. But I'm still drooling...

    Limewave, I can't find my extra $10K either. It must be around here somewhere.

    Yeah, but if you restricted yourselves to the Madone 4.5, you'd only have to come up with about half that. Surely you could find that in the couch cushions, or the washing machine, or your kids' college fund.

    No more Trek 1000.

    Now I wish mine had been a 2007 instead of 2006.

    Not lusting after a bike right now, so you're safe there. (although those bikes are purdy) But the wheel sites.........there could be trouble there.

    Can I get these? Please? They cost less than a new bike
