I too looked at the Trek lime and found it very cheap from a quality point of view. Shi!!y plastic for the dome hub and equally junky parts. I am surprised people buy this utterly pathetic piece of crap.
OK, so kinda cool the auto shift, but things will full apart. The swobo otis is top notch quality way over the lime.
