I bought a Trek 5000 last year and have no complaints so far. One of the main reasons i bought the trek was how i was treated at the bike shop. The owner of the shop spent a couple hrs with me letting me try out a large selection of bikes both high end and less exspensive, and he would put each bike on a trainer and have me get on the bike and make any adjustments that were needed. He gave me a great deal on a brand new 2005 Trek 5000 which he took out of the box and built it up right in front of me just so i could try it out. It road nice and fit me perfect so i took it home with me. I am very pleased with my choice, and the service i received at the bike shop.
