It WAS top-of-the-line along with the Tete de Course (same frame, different components).

Did we read the same post? Because in the post I read, Trek offered the 6.5 first and then reneged on the deal.

The replacement should be worked out between the dealer, Trek rep, and customer. Sorry the exact same frame was not available, but going from a 4 year old LeMond to a brand new Madone would be a very good upgrade. As for the carbon, the 5.2 is has black carbon = 110 (white = 120, red = 55).

Seems like Trek was fair to me.
