The way I feel right now, life is too short to only have one bike.

 

Does anyone know about the Trek Madone? to be more specific, it's a 2013 model. Thinking of maybe saving up for it, if it hasn't been sold by the time I have the moola.

That was/is a great machine...what is your budget like? I see Trek have a few models on sale from their 2017 range as well...

My glow in the dark Top Fuel 9

I've recently upgraded my Top Fuel 8 to a Top Fuel 9.

 

Here it is at Hoogekraal. I've added the following to it:

 

1. Extra chunky grips

2. Bontrager dropper post

3. 28T chain ring. Who needs an eagle anyway? This mod was R12k cheaper for the same result. I haven't lost any top end and I can reach 45km/h easily.

 

I'm still in two minds about how the Rockshox compares to the Fox that was on the TF 8. I love the remote lockout on the TF 9 though.

 

And those saying that SLX brakes = XT. You don't know what you are talking about. XT brakes are so much better on fast downhills. They don’t fade as quick as the SLX ones.

 

Where did you get your 28T chainring from?

 

I have a 32T, and have been thinking about getting a 28T.

Budget is 15k max. I've just been on the Trek website and I see there's a Trek Emonda ALR 4 going for 15k, might save up for that instead.

From my LBS, but they had to order it as no one keeps stock of a 28

Got my 28T from Knipe_Racing.

 

Gives me a nice super low granny, for my bust knees ...

 

Still reach 40km/h ... which is way fast enough for trail riding. 

 

Might want to go a different route if you need higher speeds for longer gravel rides
