Hello Dannph, nowadays Motobecane and Mercier are brands put out by Bikes Direct. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with those brands, but they do not have the cachet certain other brands have.
Have you considered putting slicks on your Trek? That could pump some new life into the bike. If you ride virtually nothing but road, then you want a road bike. If your travels take you to places where you may encounter some gravel or dirt, then you might look into a cyclocross bike.
Welcome to BF!
