So, to paraphrase Yogi Berra, Treks are so popular nobody buys them anymore.
And now Trek has their own track bike, the T1. This will further spoil the fun of the true fixie riders as all the train-jumping hipsters will be down at the coffee shop with their Treks.
I have nothing against Trek; they make great bicycles. I 've got a Trek Fuel 80, bought my wife a Trek hybrid then a 7.5FX. Test rode the 1000 and 1500 and they didn't feel right so I bought the Orbea. LBS has great service, too.
When I'm ready to pull the trigger on another bicycle I'll see what Trek has to offer, along with all the other brands for sale in town.
