"And so also says Grant Petersen,card carying Retro Grouch, wool wearer and reputed mutton head."

Awww, syd, sounds like wuv. Either that, or a cage match. Go to it, tiger, you're wearing our colours. Rah! Rah!

"Here's the BIG question: How do they fit?"

Yep, that it. This is the entire crux of the matter, not GP's alleged muttonheadedness. How do they fit? How comfortable are they? If you find them comfortable rides that do what you want them to do, just keep 'em. Despite the Trek's low value, they're well made and in my experience very nice rides. You like it, keep it.
