http://www.trekbikes.com/bikes/2005/road/pilot52.jspSeems they're replacing it with two models at that price:

Hmmm, very different geometries.I usually buy my bike on the paint schemes and rarely on how they fit.
Check out this one, it's a beauty paint wise
http://www.trekbikes.com/bikes/2005/road/5000.jsp It's a 5200 that's been
downgraded to a 105 set. -
Why have they made the triples in a 53/39/30 now. I always wondered why this
wasn't the case in the first place."Callistus Valerius" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

DF road bike top tubes should be horizontal.

http://www.trekbikes.com/bikes/2005/road/pilot52.jspSlightly longer chain stays, normal reach brakes (also known as long
reach). Sounds like a great road bike to me! -

http://www.trekbikes.com/bikes/2005/road/pilot52.jspFalse. The Trek 5200 has been replaced by the Madone 5.2.
Price is up 10% from 2004.
http://www.trekbikes.com/bikes/2005/road/madone52.jsp
The Pilot 5.2 is more relaxed bike for recreational riders. -

Look at the space between the rear tire and the seat tube, more empty
space means longer chainstays.
The Pilot 59 has a compact crankset, 50/36, Trek has figured out not
everyone can ride Lances gearing.
The odd bit is no fender eyelets, one the reasons for long
reach brakes is fenders. Trek did put eyelest on 2300c, their rear suspension
road frame aka the Klein Reve. Look at the chainstays on the 2300c, the tire
almost touches the seattube, so you got a road bike with rear suspension
and long reach brakes and eyelets but limited tire clearance.
Somebody at Trek needs to go find an old Peugeot PX-10 and figure out
how to do an old timey stage race bike.Scott Goldsmith

I have a catalog. And the picture does seem to have more space between
the tire and seat tube.
