The reason I got it at that price was because my lbs lost its Trek dealership to a new shop across town. The new shop has two other shops near larger cities and their buying power is much more. So my shop was liquidating all Trek and bontrager gear. I have also bought many bikes there and my job has purchased many bikes there, so he hooked me up and gave it to me at cost just to get rid of it. Apparently road bike sales in our town have been pretty crappy this year
