Anybody got any ideas when this will be released (uk) as it looks fantastic?

It seems to be available in Russia but no where else (its a bit to far to travel to for one):

That does look great... I was pretty disappointed that the Gary Fisher Erwin CX bike wasn't Apex. The Presidio looks great, but I'm looking for my teenager--and they aren't getting a $2000 bike. The Fisher models don't run smaller than a 50, but it looks like the X0 will go smaller.

In any case, we should know all details about all 2011 Trek bikes by the end of the week.

Just released today it appears. Why did the price go up with Apex? $1809 is steep.

I think most Trek dealers will sell for something like $1699... Trek lists high MSRP on their website--but I agree. More expensive than I was expecting. Certainly makes the Bikes Direct bikes seem that much more appealing... I mean, you can do this bike plus a nice paint job to mask the origin for substantially less... and get better parts:

I do think the Trek frame is higher quality with better tech... I don't like Bikes Direct, but the price difference is pretty startling.

Agreed. BD is hard to beat. Kinesis frames arent too shabby, especially for that price.
