This is a not a Trek company store. The bike is heavily discounted so maybe no or little profit margin to eat the $160. It’s a VERY good deal for what it is, thus I think I will eat the $160. And not ever have I complained about paying the $160 except that Treks method of not using a more generic seat post with traditional flexibility in height is screwing the customer.
