That said... I had to search around and got very lucky to find the bike in the the size and color I wanted at a shop in my general area. My "Home Shop", which was also a Giant dealer told me it would be approx. 3 to 6 months to order the bike. So the long lead times are not just Trek. Remember, Giant builds the framesets for a lot of other manufacturers lines. Trek, and Specialized included.
Why were you a Trek guy? This is an honest question. What about that brand made you not consider other brands?
