Also I think all black is a classic looking colour, so in my book, that is also a better choice than what was on offer in the Shift 2.
Thank you. You are right, there are many other upgrades besides what the trek website states. Even the stem is different (I assume that it's better). The suspension fork is also lighter, not only lockable. I am much happier with this bike. I wasn't planning on spending this much but once my husband had payed for the non-refundable extended warranty, I think it was a no brainer. By the way, in two months we'll be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. It's my gift!
