Titleist Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Tech this and weight that for crazy amounts of money.😭 I'll buy better legs from them when they start selling that! ChrisF and Sandro 2
The Ouzo Posted June 28 Posted June 28 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. DieselnDust, nonky and ChrisF 3

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!! Edited June 28 by DieselnDust SwissVan, ChrisF and Mook 1 1 1

Furbz Posted June 28 Posted June 28 (edited) Give credit where its due boys. Having ridden the last few Madone's - Trek know what they are doing. its certainly one of the better riding bikes out there. Edited June 28 by Furbz
rock Posted June 28 Posted June 28 I need someone to paint it in USPS colours. BMCfan, SwissVan, Bert Verlinde and 1 other 2 2
SwissVan Posted June 28 Posted June 28 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”
Andreas_187 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 (edited) Trek website says top model is between R270k and R330k. I think I might start bike-jacking! Edited June 28 by Andreas_187 DieselnDust 1
