Maybe Trek would have sold more 520s if they didn’t go to the aluminum fork. Not speculating if this would have made a difference in the current outcome, other then the fact that they did lose some sales because of it. It’s really too bad Trek is abandoning its longest running model and not capitalizing on tweaking the design a bit to appeal to more people. It’s ironic this current model had aesthetics that capitalized on the 520s heritage and then they deep six it. With a company name like Trek I guess it’s more figurative than literal now.
