The only problem was that TREK refused to honour any warranty if he did that, (supposedly to protect the 'dealer' system).....but just shows you how 'ripped off' we are getting. So is this mob gunna be in the shops?, or only over the 'net?,

They seem to have shopfronts around the place, as I mentioned I've been to the one in Canberra, there is also a listing for one in Sydney - Learsport Shp 47/ 2 Railway Pde Lidcombe 2141 (02) 9649 6888
FREECALL 1800 260 888.
Even if the frames are junk (which they appear not to be) it would be worth while buying the bike just to strip it and put all the bits on a "name" brand frame.
