Personally I don't like Treks because I don't like the way they ride. I feel there are a lot of other frames that ride a hell of a lot better than a Trek. I happen to sell, ride, very very strongly believe in and live and die by one of those brands but that isn't the point. Lance happens to ride a Trek but what most people tend to forget is that guy could jump on just about any bike and win.

Another thing I don't like about Trek is that they have relied on their marketing skills instead of focusing on constant innovation and improvement. I guess this is a good business practice, when you've got a winner (Lance) stick with it. I'm just not caught up in a lot of the hype that surrounds the bikes. If they rode well, I would say it, but I don't think much of the ride on the high end Trek road bikes like the Madone, 5200, etc (I'm talking specifically about road bikes here, their mountain bikes might be the greatest thing ever but I wouldn't know).
