I own the Trek now.....I wanted the versatility of going off road but I wanted it to be primarily a road bike....I was pretty ignorant in my research. I then saw the specialized and thought this is exactly what i want already without having to make any modifications...i then even noticed after that the Trek cross rip was in the same league .... It appears these are road bikes first that can be a work horse....but it was to late :/
