People are willing to die for justice, to die for justice for others. We the people have the right to protest state sanctioned injustice and cruelty.

Yes, & that's not with the bike per se - it's the DT Swiss hub. Generally, I've found DT Swiss wheels to be excellent and reliable. The Fezzari is dependable and I love the way it feels when I'm climbing hard or descending fast. I'm old and slow now - per my Garmin my avg. has dropped to 16.5 mph

When I acquired my Fezzari Empire it was comparable to models from Cannondale & Specialized but considerably less expensive. I have taken a few rides on Trek bikes but never really thought about buying one. Not familiar with Lightening models. 13,000 miles on Fezzari only 1 problem w/DT Swiss hub.
