Oh come on now. A Trek or an Orbea? Be different! Be unique! Get an Orbea! I just got an Orbea; I've had it for about 2 months now, and I love it!

I think the Bontrager wheels would hold you, like some people have been saying, but do you want to take the chance when you're spending that much money? You don't want to trash them.

And, about Orbea USA being fairly new: I got my Orbea straight from their factory in Arkansas. I talked right to the head sales guy. They're not going to sink into nothingness anytime soon. The USA branch is currently expanding. I read an article on cyclingnews.com about 4 months ago that said Orbea USA is growing fast, and getting a heck of a lot more competitive in the US, with the other companies. If you search on the website, it will still be there in the archives.
