that is interesting!!!!!!! i guess if you grow up in a cycling culture....you get more into some brands and not into some others....i dont judge you at all on that...
but when my dad took me to Canadian Tire(equivalent of walmart) and bought me a STEVE BAUER bike with 10 speed, I was on top of the world!!! i was 14 years old and decide that i was going to put more miles on this bike that my dad will put on his new car for the summer months..... i rode it moring and night....every chance i had.... i was on my steve bauer!!!! it was yellow like the yellow jersey....and i was the king!!!! i would lauch vicious attack on any old men or women on the road with there hybride bike or MTB..... i was invincible.... I had no clue what components were on that thing and no clue about the wheels either.... But i m pretty sure that at the end of that summer... i would not had been happier with a derosa or bianchi or anything else! i feel in love with riding and hurting myself and pedaling in circle all day long!
Trek kick ASS.....they are cool and nice machine...... i have one i presently ride..... i also rode a pinarello last week and train most of the time on my planet X this season.... the point they all have in commun is that i just have to make circle with my feet to make them go forward.... and the faster i make the circle...the faster the bike goes... independantly of the nationality of the bike or his components! so yeah, as long as i have a bike underneath me.... i think i will be smiling big time!
and as for bike fit..... there is 3 very important aspect in MY book. The seat post and the stem and the spacer....these have allowed me to ride all my friends bikes.. compete at internation level for the past 5 years......travel to ottawa and borrow someones bike and make it fit in 3 minutes and ride the hell out of it with the cool triathlete from out there..... these 3 elements have never let me down in bike fitting...
i do not charge a lot for bike fitting(usualy a smile is enought), it dosnt take very long either..... i dont want someone to waste to much time on a stand or trainer when he could be enjoying to open roads!!!!!!!!!
