That describes my PRE rather accurately. The Trek 460 is touted as an entry level offering chiefly due to the True Temper frame (non-531) and suntour components. But the geometry is finicky compared to that PRE.

Both have nearly same wheelbase but it's the top tube where they differ. I know they are older but still very competitive, aggressive and responsive. Oh and fun to ride .
