Trek hate? I suppose that some of the folks bent out of shape about the LA period do dislike most anything Trek out there. But with the quality products they had/have it seems just plain counterproductive to be down on them. There is no figuring out human kind it seems.

And Trek isn't the primary line I see get bad posts and press, Specialized and Mike Sinyard can draw out the hate quicker than an Isis recruiting center in the Deep South...... And I cannot accept that Spesh hate either, but no-one wants to listen to this old guy anyway. And that is fine too.

Seeing bikes like [MENTION=94607]cb400bill[/MENTION] 's pink beauty, and so many of the others seen here over these few years I have been a member, makes it difficult to lump every Trek into one pile, in either direction. My wife's Trek 7300 hybrid had been trouble free, and she enjoys it, yeah its heavy but she ain't climbing Mt Ventoux or in one of the Classic either. Snobs gonna be snobs and haters gonna hate.
