There must have been more to it and it was taken out of context for impact. I didn't get a chance to look though Trek's lineup for SRAM spec, but forgot about the Astana angle. Good catch. Mike –

She's using their new internally geared hubs on the Swobo bikes. another insightful article. thanks for sharing! binny bin whoever said Sram isn’t credible must not be paying any attention to Swobo and Sky Yaeger.

I thought the Business Week article was great, so newsflashed it to the BikeBiz email list on Saturday. I was less impressed with the comment from Trek. SRAM not credible as player? That's such an amazingly wrong comment. If it's a true reflection on Joe V's views, that is. It might not be. Anyway, size isn't everything...but the way that SRAM is growing it's getting bigger all the time. Blimey, Rich, I’m blushing!

I would bet that there is more to that quote by Joe V that didn't get printed. After all, SRAM is a huge component in the Trek road marketing campaign that is Astana. Maybe it is in reference to being credible on sub-$1000 road bikes??? As someone who has seen SRAM start from the days when FK came into the shop to drill road bars for Grip Shift installation, I can say that SRAM has done an inredible job and deserves a better quote from the industry that has supported them and who supports the industry.
