Since the fuji fits better, i'd go with that. But I agree, the Trek 2100 is a nice machine. If they fit the same, i'd pick the Trek but i'd think with all those sizes you listed, there's got to be one that you can dial into.

yeah fuji is like cm here and a cm there. no huge difference but there is some.

I think the allummn on the 2100 might be alot better. really I think it comes down to which truely is the better machine.
