Hi folks, I'm looking at replacing my old softride with a new bike for brevets...I'm interested in the Trek Pilot 5.0...I thought it had a nice balance of comfort (a bit more upright geometry) versus performance. Obviously the real test is a long (100+) ride, which is difficult to simulate at a bike shop. Does any ride a Pilot? If so, are you happy with it's long distance reliability, comfort and performance? If you use a Pilot for long distances, what kind of bags do you use on it to haul your supplies? Are there any fenders that will fit on it? My lbs is having a great deal on this bike during July, so I have until Monday to decide! Frank
