Agreed re so many better options but, with fun to head, I would choose a specialised every time over a trek. I feel dirty now.Trek is not as lame as giant or specialised

At least Giant has decent quality control and acceptable manufacturing tolerances on their bikes.From better companies...doesn't matter about the size. Trek is not as lame as giant or specialised, but it's close. They are also guilty of atrocities in the standards war.
The trek factory? Hahahaaaaa...trek frames come out of one of two factories in Taiwan. Guess which one?At least Giant has decent quality control and acceptable manufacturing tolerances on their bikes.
Trek are expensive and they don't care what kind of shit leaves their factory. Dopes still buy em.
It doesn't really matter if they don't manufacture their own frames, they should have the last say in their quality control process.The trek factory? Hahahaaaaa...trek frames come out of one of two factories in Taiwan. Guess which one?
I don't know too much about the process that big business bike companies go through, but I'd imagine they place an order at giantmerida hq and the whole thing is assembled at the mega factory and sent to trek storage in a box ready to go. Maybe a QR inspection of a sample at the mega factory. I may be wrong.It doesn't really matter if they don't manufacture their own frames, they should have the last say in their quality control process.
They tried to leave all the QC up to the factories in the start but realised it was a dismal fail, I believe most major brands have a person on the ground doing the checks and rejecting bad product.I don't know too much about the process that big business bike companies go through, but I'd imagine they place an order at giantmerida hq and the whole thing is assembled at the mega factory and sent to trek storage in a box ready to go.
