Excuse my thickness but you mean that Trek have their own shops selling only their bikes? Are the prices cheaper & availibilty better?I'd be pissed off if I owned a independent shop trying to compete with them
It was all about the reach & feeling of confidence. The medium felt very upright back of the seat riding, the large was a bit more over stetched out. The top tube is quite low on all of them. I'm 6ft & usually ride between med & large depending on style
Over here in nz ( same distributor) the shops are already selling out with preorders. The lbs wanted 45 meridas they got 25. Delivery date between “December “ and March. I’m not holding my breath for before February. The local tracks here are tight and rooty too and after riding the mullet am...
Yes & no -I'd walk away from my Rail after the ride with a warm glow until I looked back & saw its' cringey colour scheme- thats why I had to paint mine- I didn't like looking at it ;-)
I've got a Rail 7 (with lots of upgrades) & just put a deposit down on a E160 700 for the wife (hehehe). They ride differently - the E160 is lighter feeling & turns in quicker, the Rail is more stable & feels heavier but has great handling. The Bosch def is more powerful but that wouldn't change...
Because I'm a tightarse I always run my half worn DHF fronts on the back. This time I bought a new DHRII for the rear & TBH I don't notice any difference. The DHRII are supposed to be better braking with the bib blocks however due to the track surfaces around here most of my back braking is with...
Looks like they may be out of stock? Might be a matter of seeing who actually has some in stock. I seem to remember looking around overseas & finding the availibility tricky & the difference in price to be negliable when compared to a labour day / christmas sale at EVO.
I'd recommend doing the...
Yes the medium was OK & we would have taken it but luckily they had a L to try. My wife really likes my Rail & was more confident on it than the medium 160 but the Large160 felt a lot more similar in fit to the rail. There is a vast difference in body dimensions though however we are quite...
We just put some money down on a new E160 700 after taking one for a test ride this morning. We had a medium test bike but after trying a Large back at the shop we went with that. My wife is 5'6" & was halway through the seatpost travel which was surprising as we were told the E160s are quite...

Mine was a bastard to get off. I ended up hitting it with a big screwdriver but make sure you have someone catching it or put a bucket underneath as the...
Looking at a e140 400 for the wife. Shes the above height & on the sizing chart is right in the medium. Any feedback from others around that size woud be appreciated. Unfortunately none around here to check out in real life so have to take a gamble on the preorder
I'm thinking you guys must have been AV monitors & really really wanted to be one of the Tomorrow people.
Definitely plans drawn up in the Eighties & resurfaced again when the builders wife bought an old school desk from an auction with the old sketches still in it. The plans were titled "The...
I'vre got a trek rail 7 with upgraded fork & shock. If I was buying again the merida & new reign would also be in the tossup. The only bad thing I'll say about Trek is anything with Bontrager written on it is probably worth replacing from new.
You'll love whatever you get don't sweat it. Count...
