I'm disappointed because I was immensely happy to be buying a locally manufactured bike (I'm in Chicago and Trek is in Wisconsin) and proud of the fact that my bike was made a few hundred miles away. Now I'm just saddened that the one of the foremost US bike manufacturers acts in this way.
Well, there's a reason for that. As much as it'll let water out, it will also let things (dirt, etc) in as well.
