I was at first going to say of this woman's purchase, "she was sold a

largely in "being sold a bill of goods" by one interest group or

other hand, seems to me to really have the cyclist's interest, as
understood by Grant, at heart.) I do hate the garbage that is spewed
to sell bikes, in particular, regardless of the buyer's best
interests. Still, perhaps the Domane will suit her. Do we know it won't?
At least she is on a road bike, and I for one see room for many more
road bike types than just the Sam Hill. Perhaps she'll enjoy it? After
all, Trek sells a huge number of bikes and not all their buyers can
possibly be unhappy dupes, right?
There are a couple in the bike club I ride with. The owners seem very
happy with them. There's an elastomer in the junction between the top
tube and the seat tube intended to make the bike ride better on rough
roads.
