I was seriously considering giving myself the Trek 8500 as xmas present (any excuse will do, but it's in the season spirit).
I noted, on the prod. image on Trek, it shows Shimano XT cranks, while it's spec'ed with a Bontrager.
Of obvious differences, is about 100grams of weight, in advantage of the Bontrager.
What is the other major differences, which could have made Trek make the switch ? Which of the two, would be the better choice ?
The parts in question is :
- Bontrager Race 44/32/22 w/ISIS
- Shimano FC-M760
