I don't understand why people have tunnel vision and such brand loyalty towards Trek and/or think they are somehow inherently better, or even the best.
Same reasons why people have brand loyalty towards a particular auto manufacturer, or any number of other products. If Trek bikes don't excite you, or you think there's something that's a better option for you, then don't buy a Trek.
