The point is that the Trek bikes break at the aluminum sections, not the carbon .

and the Trek 1.1 is a far lesser a bike than the Chambery of which broke at the alum section.

Plus the Lemond Chambery was far stiffer then the flimsy Tourmalet which was about the equiv of the 2.1

Now a Cannondale alum bike like my CAD3 is a different story with it's beefy BB area. Mine is a 98 and no problem but far stiffer and less flaxy than the Trek design.

1998 no problem
