My father bought a Trek 2011 1.1 and absolutely loves it...I bought a 2.1 and also liked it but I ended up selling it and upgraded to a 5.2 Madone. I wasn't aware that Treks were regarded so negatively as kabex put it... Guess I can't really compare Treks to other bikes because they are really all I have ever ridden- But we are really enjoying them and you can probably get a really good price right now seeing as Trek is trying to get them all out the door for the 2012's. Best thing to do is go test a few out at the LBS and take it from there...
