If there's one frame I wouldn't spend time on it's a 5200. Sorry. _________________ My EPS: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=72682

I have a new 2010 Focus Cayo, 2010 Giant TCR Advanced, a Kinesis KR810 and sold my Isaac Impulse recently and I don't find my Trek 5200 "wooden". It is a very stable ride, but not much unlike any of my other carbon rides. They all feel more alike than different.

Not sure about the rear mech but i like how the white calipers work with the white decals. It's all in the details...... _________________ _________________ The more I ride, the less I spend
