Tete de Course vs. Trek 5900 and Litespeed Siena

Any opinions on what would be the best choice for me taking into consideration difference in weight. I weigh 135 lbs approx 5'6" and live in Maui where most of my rides are climbs. Also planning on doing the Etape du Tour this summer which is about 150 miles. Thanks and Happy New Years!!!!!!!

Go for the LeMond TDC. (Thats what I got for X-mas complete with Record).

Here's some reviews from Road bike reviews.

Ride all three, pick the one you like best. Fit is paramount. What people say on the internet should have little or no bearing on your decision. That said, I'd stay away from the Trek as I've seen a few of those show up in our shop with cracked frames. I much prefer the ride of the Siena to the Treks as well. It's all subjective, though, and you need to decide for yourself what's best for you.

I've got a 5900 as my race bike and it is truly awesome! the road surfaces here in the UK are absolutely awful, but it gives a really smooth ride.

It's incredibly stiff and fast, particularly when climbing. A lot of people do question the durability of the carbon frames, but the bike this replaced was a 1994 OCLV 5500, still going strong! I shattered a pair of forks by colliding with a car which turned across me at 35mph, but the frame is absolutely fine, which seems quite impressive! If you prefer the more 'sprung' feeling of the ti frame then the Litespeed may be better, not quite as stiff as the Trek though.

Try em all and pick your favourite!

Save some money and get the 5200.For the same amount you could get a hell of a nice felt.
