Trek just can’t get it through their thick skulls that these sixteen THOUSAND dollar bikes are a big part of why they’re teetering now. I’m relatively rich and I winced spending $2500 on a #bike. Ridiculous.

@pkprotoplasm@mastodon.sdf.org over thirty years ago I spent $700 or so on a Trek Multitrack. Fine, solid bike that needs a complete restoration and I probably wouldn't be able to ride it even if I got it restored. Adjusted for inflation, my Aventon not-cheap ebike plus a spare battery were less expensive in 2023! I did get lots of use out of the Trek, though. Probably the best bike of my life.
