Interestingly, Trek priced this bike bit cheaper in India compared to the USA. So, I find it quite value for money.

Do you think 520D will be good option for local errands?

Thanks,

I have a 2020 model. I use it for riding around, for shopping and errands, and this past summer on a 4 day credit card tour. Here it is returning from the the weekly grocery shopping trip:
