Hi Jaynee - I don't know anything about the Trek you're looking at, just wanted to wish you well and say congrats on using cycling to help manage your health. I had open heart surgery to put in a prosthetic aortic valve a few years back and there's nothing like biking to make me feel capable and free and not at all like a heart patient. I know a valve replacement is not in the same league with a new heart but am hoping cycling will do the same for you, both before and after your surgery. Good luck and happy riding!
