Something like :http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...ane/fly_xc.htm

Mike needs to work on getting his comparisons straight. I don't even know HOW he managed to come up with this:

"Brakes: Trek 6700 has entry level Single Digit 3 disc brakes, Trek 800 has mid-level Single Digit 5.
The 2009 FLY XC has higher level Avid Single Digit 7 V disc brakes."

Wtf? There's no such thing as Single Digit 3 DISC brakes (they're v-brakes), and the 6700 hasn't had v-brakes since '04. And the 800 was some cheapy bike, so I'm assuming he meant 8000, which also hasn't had v-brakes since '04. AND he's calling the SD-7s DISK BRAKES? They're v-brakes. Honestly now....how did he screw that one up?
