Hi Katie,

I test rode the Trek Pilot 5.0 and ended up buying the Pilot 2.1. I found that the Pilot 5.0 has a much smoother ride and the components were much better. Riding that bike was like riding on glass - couldn't feel the road at all. I fell in love with it and haven't forgotten how good it felt to ride. But..., we still had to eat at our house so I got the 2.1 instead.
