[edit] Move

This was moved manually by 63.201.229.204, erasing the edit history. I agree with the move, done properly. --BaronLarf 20:43, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

-> When moved, be sure that the title adhears to Wikipedia naming conventions. (Should be "Trek bicycle corporation", I think) 1 July 2005 18:33 (UTC)

The name of the company would be capitalized, being the proper corporate name. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) David Gale 15:33, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Added Competitors

I thought it was revelant information... although it could show personal bias (why didn't I include this company, or that company?) checked these companies on hoovers.com to make sure they were 'big enough' to be a top competitor... which is why smaller companies (and excellent bike manufacturers) like cervelo, bmc, colnago, or other "boutique bikes" don't show up... -- skyleth

[edit] SSLx weight

The information about the SSLx weighing less than the SSL is inaccurate. Its claimed weight and real world weight are both higher, but trivially so. The frames were actually weighed for comparison in my (former) shop before we built them up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.164.249.104 (talk) 21:38, September 5, 2006

[edit] The Trek Wiki Entry

This really should be rewritten in the entirety. Very sketchy article. Not enough about the other bikes they make. For example, the 520 is probably the most used touring bike in the US.Seth1066 01:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Trek logo.jpg

Image:Trek logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
