it looks like treks answer to the specialized roubaix. a comfortable road bike that is also fast.

actually, after looking at all the other models, perhaps I was wrong. seems like they've jumped on the compact-frame bandwagon. they sure look funny though with the bars so high.

Yeah. They were supposed to go compact on 2004 but I guess they finally got the buzz. I think they are exactly like the Roubaix. Looks like the LBS has to clear a LOT of room for the 05 bikes. My hats off to Trek. They certianly did their homework and are pumping out bicycles for EVERY type of rider. Stay tuned for more stuff from more companys.
