Strengths:    Fast light, agile. Great ride.

Weaknesses:    Poor customer service, weak frame that'd broke after 5 years. The bontager race liters almost killed me when the rim crack on a step downhill. I 've heard that many people had similar experiences. Trek should have recalled these and instead they wait for them to fail.

Bottom Line:   
Great bike that trek has ignored its faults. I think trek has figured we have the reputation, let's not fix the flaws, make money and let people assume it is their fault.

Strengths:    Hard fast accel smooth ride

Weaknesses:    Bottom bracket flex even though it is lateral stiff and its not really a problem

Bottom Line:   
This is a Trek 5900 found this ultra lite with less than a 100 mi on it. Been sitting in garage for years had orginal tires dry rotted but still ridable. What a great bike 15lbs 4oz 56cm will upgrade to sti new tires convert to 9sp . I ride ti most of time wanted to try carbon without big cash outlay wow!

Strengths:    Incredibly smooth ride, firm acceleration, and decent braking. Silky smooth shifting which needs little maintenance. Good looking frame.

Weaknesses:    Still a little on the heavy side compared to the Madone series, but still a great value for the price. Ultegra brakes are average.

Bottom Line:   
Great upgrade from my previous aluminum frame bike with down tube shifters. The bike rides very smoothly, pedaling is very efficient and there's no noticeable frame flex during hard sprints. It's a good step up from the Trek 1000/1500 level. Good for riders with a few years of experience.

Strengths:    Fast, fast, fast.
Comfortable, fits me like a glove.


Weaknesses:    Old :) (not exactly a weakness)
A little on the heavy side compared to newer bikes, it's fine with me though.


Bottom Line:   
My Trek5200/DuraAce is extremely fast and comfortable.
On downhill I often relax while passing by other bikers with fancier/newer bikes that push hard to keep up.
DuraAce is incredibly reliable.
Great bike!
