If you crash your Trek or ding a tube, a replacement Trek road bike frame costs you about $2,400+
The Motobecane Titanium frame has a lifetime warranty against defects. Titanium is the MOST crash and dent resistant bike material on the market. Carbon fiber or Titanium, which material do you think is easier to crack by accident?
Components
Trek has housebrand parts and housebrand wheels
The Litespeed Sienna Titanium has the same level Dura Ace 7800 as the Le Champion Team Ti but for over Twice the cost
