Yikes.

Trek may indeed have an issue, but I'd guess a hard look at everything involved here would indicate otherwise. They've been making bikes for a few years now and they seem to be doing ok.
You're right, I was thinking the same. I guarantee if everyone that commented looked at ALL of their bikes and measured to the mm... they would be in for a treat on their perfect frames lol. Either way, I appreciate all of the help and the bike is now returned. NOT just because of this wheel thing... I think it was also that I just didn't need the bike and it was sort of an impulse buy as I wanted to try a checkpoint and it was right there at my local store. Plus, my '21 domane with some gravel tires should do the trick. I'm really only riding light gravel/rails to trails lately anyways. If I want to get gnarlier, I'll just pull the mtb out.
