Oh yes. Trek makes an awesome bike IMHO. I love my 1.5, and I absolutely refuse to ever give it up. I want to get another Trek, a 1.2, for commuting.
OR
Upgrade to a better bike and use the 1.5 for the grunt work. A Madone would be nice...
Lance did, and continues to, have an effect on Trek's sales. Now he is back, you see him and Trek all over the place.
