Mmmm...Trek?

This is something I've had for a while now. I thought I should share with the rest of the world.

As I've spent half my life working in various bike shops through the invention of grip-shift, to the commonality of carbon-fiber. One things seems to have remained the same. Customers coming in acting like they know bikes, asking "well isn't Trek the best brand? Aren't they all made in America?"

NOT HARDLY. Trek is a brand just like any other company. They have good a bad products just like everyone else. NO, they aren't made in the good 'ol USA. In fact they were probably one of the 1st companies to be out sourced to GIANT Bicycles. Who make like 75% of everyone's low to mid range frames.

This picture is just shows that the major companies are generally manufactured in the same place. Notice the Trek/Specialized tire a friend received over the winter.

Stop asking if Trek makes the best bikes, they just felt sorry for what happened to Lance when he was on Cofidis. Really I think their bikes are kinda ugly, bad logo,no sense of industrial design.
