howdy nægrœs.
so I've owned nothing but Treks the last 15 years or so. love the bikes, never had an issue. however, there's only one Trek dealer in Sydney, and although they're very good they really pissed me off this time. absolutely nothing in stock under $1000, and the guy was really pushy.
i mountainbike around the city most of the time but also go on weekend trips to the mountains/national park/etc. i'm not a bike commuter, more of a joyrider and errand-runner.
anyway I've given up on Trek for the time bean and bought myself a Totem from a local shop. a little cheaper but with nice features, like Shimano disc brakes and lockout shocks. I bought it sight-unseen to get the process rolling and tomorrow I go down there to test it out and decide if I want to keep it.
how bad did I fuck up /n/?
