And, I still don't understand this since green isn't available in the U.S. according to their website. How could any warehouse in the States have green?
Looks like I would have to order from another country….which I'm willing to do, would just like to see the color in person first.
Regarding your first point it is still a problem of the cost-to-carry an inventory of all combinations available to all locations.
Hopefully your call to Trek will reveal a not well kept secret for international companies like Trek. Their country-based websites don't always list all combinations and models. If that doesn't work check dealers in Canada. A nice long weekend drive to Canada could net you a green bike.
Lets us know what happens.
