The Ouzo Posted June 28 Share my LBS had a launch for this straight after our group ride this morning, I did not stick around so did not even see the bike. No point drooling over new bikes when you cant even afford the tires.

Yes i did, mostly because they hung lance out to dry…😂 but in all seriousness, the concept of this bike has been slated by many reviewers and mechanics as it introduced complexities that went beyond unnecessary. So instead of listening they carried it all over to a new bike!!

SwissVan Posted June 28 Share Very nice looking bike, would love to own one….. Not sure of those water bottles tho…..they won’t stand up on their own, not unless your kitchen work surface slopes at the same angle. Memories of previous aero water bottles not being practical due to limited amount of fluid they hold. Not a big deal if you have a team car following you around, but something to consider if you do long rides without any support or “garage stops” Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/196517-trek-unveil-new-madone-gen-8/#findComment-3967193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas_187 Posted June 28 Share Trek website says top model is between R270k and R330k. I think I might start bike-jacking!
