Trek sevice problemo grrr...

[Mr. SR500]

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.

He said, "Treks reply was that they had no Victoire frames in my size left but they might give me a Trek Madone 6.5 frame." Who said, the dealer, rep? Might is not will. He also said his bike was "the" top of the line, but in reality the Dura-Ace bike is the top of line.

I'm sure he is a nice guy, and I'm sure he is upset about his bike, but after reading his post it still seems Trek did their part. I did a quick Google:

'08 Trek 6.5 Dura Ace $5830
'04 Lemond Victoire Ultegra $3900
'08 Trek 5.2 Ultegra $3680

So in 4 years of development, you get more bike for the same money (as technology trickles down, like the new Madone frames (lighter stronger), 9 speed to 10 speed, etc...), the 5.2 seems a reasonable offer. The new Madones are awesome and a much better frame then the TI/Carbon Lemond he had.

I'm guessing he has other issues with Trek. In my experience they have been excellent!
