Trek 4600?
My local bike shop says the 4500 has been discontinued and is been replaced by the 4600, yet I can't find any information about this 4600. Has anyone heard about the 4600? |

Trek 4600?
All of the 4000 series are basically the same. Only the components differ.

The 4600 isn't really a replacement to the 4500. The 4500 is low in supply because of it's popularity and also because most bike manufacturers are selling Shimano equipped bikes faster than Shimano can keep up with demand. The 4600 is identical to the 4500 except that it has SRAM components and has different paint. Personally, I have seen both first hand and I like the paint on the 4600 better. I'm buying the 4600 tomorrow. I'll let you know how I like it. -- |

Trek 4600?
I picked up my 4600 the Friday before Memorial Day. Really like it, this is
my first "real" MB. After riding a Wal-Mart bike for the last few weeks, what a difference. I have only missed one day riding it because of 40 mph gusts and rain. "Bonehenge" wrote in message ...

I sold my first 4600 Thursday, and it's got a very nice spec for the price. Barry |

I'm buying the 4600 tomorrow. I'll let you know how I like it. Okay, I lied. I went to look at (and buy) the 4600 and the salespeople were too bust jabbering with each other and listening to their music, so I left. I went to another bike shop and they pointed out the differences between the 4500 and the 4600, mainly in the shifters. I liked the Shimano components on the 4500 better than the SRAM components on the 4600, even though the 4600 is a 9 speed rear (27 speed overall) and the 4500 is a 5 speed rear (24 speed overall). I bought the 4500 even though they had to order it, I'll likely see the bike by the weekend. For the money, if you can still find a 4500 in your size, buy that...but if you like SRAM, or if the components don't really matter much, the 4600 is a sweet sweet looking ride! -- |

Are you sure? G I work at a decent sized Trek dealer, and Trek had no anticipated delivery date for 4500's, hence the existence of the 4600. If you're lucky, they're buying it from another store, but I'll bet you don't see the bike for a while. Barry According to them, they checked Trek's inventory and they said it was in stock and would be here by Friday and possibly even Thursday. Perhaps Trek is short on certain sizes; I ordered the 18'' in blue/silver, so we'll see. I hope I'm right and you're not...no offense. -- |

G Barry The bike shop called me on Friday afternoon and said the bike was in and was on the rack to be built. They called me back at 7 pm and said the bike was ready and I can pick it up on Saturday. I guess they were right, my 4500 came in within 3 days...just thought I'd follow up with you Barry. -- |
