This may be an old topic and I am fairly new to this forum. I am considering replacing my hybrid with a road bike. I hope to gain 3-4 miles per hour, which means greater distance. I really liked the Trek 5200 I test rode. The dealer also has a Trek Y-Foil in my size. Do any of the forum participants have info that would help me compare these frames? Thanks for any input.

Yeah, follow your heart. The 5200 will give you a more simple ride with the Y being more showy. If you want something "cool" go with the Y. If you are looking for simplicity and practicality go with the 5200.
