I bought a used Trek 1200 six years ago and it is fine for what I'm doing but I do have my eye out for something in the future.

Picked up a Trek Pure cruiser. Much lighter, smoother, and more comfortable than my Costco special from a decade ago."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

MJ bought a bike yesterday. She wanted to go real cheap so I decided to take her to a place where you can't go too cheap. This is what we picked up. It has Sora components, of which I'm not a fan, but she really doesn't care as she'll use if mostly for riding with friends once in a while as well as a triathlon or two every year.

Any ride a Trek? The local bike shop (the one I frequent since the service is awesome) is having a crazy Labor Day sale and the Trek Madone is $500 off what it was last week. I'm very tempted to jump on it since I have been looking in the $3k price range (carbon, ultegra, etc.) but to get this bike for $2,500 seems like a steal. I'd have to go test it out and see if I like the ride but was wondering if anyone here has any experience with Trek."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I haven't tried a Trek for at least 5 years or so. At the time, I felt that the Trek bikes I rode had a muted feel, if that makes sense. Maybe a bit more compliant and sluggish than other bikes. It's been long enough that current bikes would probably have no relation, but it might be something to think about.

After riding my BiL's bike (Giaint) a couple times I'm convinced I want a carbon bike. The feel and speed is just better than my aluminum entry level bike. I don't want to just buy anything though so I'll go test ride the Trek and see how it goes....but it's tough to pass up a bike that is $500 off what it was a week ago."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Moliere, I would be looking for two things: fit and stiffness. You've been on a Roubaix clone so far, so you are used to Specialized, and Trek may fit different (not a bad thing). If you are going carbon, prioritize frame over everything else, because you can upgrade the rest over time, but the carbon stays. In specialized, for example, I can feel a major difference between my 9r carbon and my wife's 10r carbon.
Also, everybody is having deals now. Clearing space for the 2015 models. Bike Barn has their super blowout this weekend, and I know where you can pick up a specialized venge for just over 3k. Ultegra, but it was a demo for a year. If you are size 52.
I am hoping to get a new bike next spring before MS150. I know what I want and have the go ahead from the mrs.Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.
