Either way, ride the wheels off that bike! Which you probably will since the stock Trek components aren't renowned for their quality... but either way it's a great bike, and for a pretty good price.
Give it a month and a few 20+ mile rides, and then you might also want to switch out the saddle... bontrager saddles aren't that great. And white bar tape to make you go faster!
Yeah man, I don't mess around!
I knew that Trek are not well know for their components but I figured if I needed to upgrade down the road, it will teach me how to work on my bike and learn how to eventually build my own. I really want to learn to do everything myself rather than taking it to the LBS.
Another thing I really liked about this bike is that it is aluminum, but it has carbon stays and a carbon fork...I was excited about that. Plus it didn't have Sora, which is a plus. I hate those damned things.
Thanks for the support everyone. First ride tomorrow!
