Picked up my AL5 today from the Trek Store in Lake Grove NY!
I was on my way to the bike shop last week with my AL2 in tow when I was rear-ended and the bike was crushed. I still went to the Trek store, but instead of going for just an extended rear axle, I went for a whole new bike.
Trek offered me 20% off my next bike as part of their loyalty program, so I took the opportunity to step up to the AL5 with the 105 groupset and to switch to the matte black which had a bit more contrast with its white accents.
The awesome folks at the store got the bike assembled, fit it with the rear rack I use and pop on the extended axle so I could pull my kids around in the burley trailer.
Took the kids out for a short 10 mile ride around town and looking forward to putting many more miles on it this fall!

Nice, good to hear they treated you well.
How does the ride compare to the AL2? Is like a night and day difference, or just enhanced?
Mine is ready (Same bike-came early, didn’t want green). Can pick up tomorrow, but no because football and cocktails. Jazzed. Will be trimmed in red. told them to put the GP5000 on as well.
Congrats on NBD. Can’t wait.
By the way- how much was the rack? (not hers).
