sure, but do you really thing the average joe is going to wait around for some thing that may never even be made?? i mean trek isnt really aimed at selling some kid a bike like that . They did debut there new dh and fr line last year i think it was, 2 bikes in total, both pushin 7 grand . how many of those do you see ever?? you probly dont even see them at shops, they wont buy them cause they cant sell them . now ask your self this . how many kona stinkys have you seen over the years?? im not taking a side for kona here, but im saying, they are the one one of the most succesfull companies in sell ign dj/ freeride bikes . not because people think they are great, or because they keep peolple in suspense for years waiting for a bike that in the end they will never be able to afford . no, they sell quality bikes people, (espeacialy young people, who are more likely to want to buy a bike of that type) . tons of people hate kona, yet if you went down to your dirt jumps, or to your bike park, your gona see tons of konas . trek is out to make one awsome bike, which are good, but nobody rides them, they can afford it usually . but kona has a line of bike for one model, you can buy a stinky for 1800, or you can buy one for 5000, and for the 1800, some kid could save up for one summer, and buy the a bike almost the same as their pros ride . i dunno, but it seems liek trek is workin the wrong angle . making top line is good, but making lower end bikes for the average joe is what sells bikes .
