I think the sport is a fine bike. I prefer rim brakes for simplicity and take off both wheels to transport. After narrowing it down to 2 and riding both again for maybe 15 minutes each the Trek just felt better, snappier. Carbon fork helps with buzz, I changed the bars, tires and saddle. It seemed smaller for its size than other brands. I usually ride around 20 miles 3 days a week plus shorter 10 mile rides around town. I looked mainly for fit and feel plus at the frame and fork, comparable bikes are pretty similar in components.
