Trek Press Conference

Yesterday I attended a little Trek gathering to show their new bikes to the public. Bikes that Cameron Widoff (the Project One Two-tone paint faded bike below), Karen Smyers (Red), and Chris Lieto (Yellow) will ride Saturday. The top of the line is the Equinox 9.9 TTX that will retail for around $5,500 and is now trickling into your local shop. There will also be a 9.5 priced in the $4,000 range.

Equinox 9.9
Frame: OCLV 110 Carbon
Fork: Bontrager Race XXX Lite TT Carbon
Wheels: Bontrager Race X Lite Aero
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace
Handlebars: Bontrager Race XXX Lite Carbon
