I remember when I bought the Crosstrail Disc back in 2014. I was so excited about the purchase and loved the bike at the shop that I didn't even realize that I was not getting the bike that I had researched (an Elite or Sport, can't remember). I remember thinking that I was getting a great deal, not realizing I was looking at a lower quality level bike. It took a couple of weeks to realize what I had done, and I was so disappointed. I hadn't gotten a deal at all. Six years later, and I couldn't be happier with what I purchased. That bike has logged many miles and really taken punishment, and has required almost no maintenance. Solid as a rock, bullet-proof.
