my new trek madone

stepdavi

Picked up today. Bought from royles at the bargain price of £1280 for carbon trek with ultegra! Happy as Larry!(whoever Larry is)

Great price. The Madones are lovely bikes but I am biased as I am on my second one now.

Looks good. Enjoy

Nice colour matching. Look for the white Elite cages with red detailing.

What does it ride like?

Very nice bike! How did you get it for such a good price?!

stepdavi

Thanks. Got it from royles in wilmslow near Manchester . They are doing 20% of everything over £100!

In the market for a new machine myself, so off to Royles' website I go!!

oh my...

She's a beaut!!!

Although I'd be ditching the white bar tape pretty sharpish. That'll be looking 'sheeeee-it' after a few rides.

You wan't some of this!!!

The black and red one of course. I went black and blue on my Madone, and it look the cats whiskers....
Its a real w**ker to wrap though, took me an hour to get the coloured bits showing on all parts of the bar. :oops:

MarksMintness

that's mint. Great price as well, £1800 RRP! Enjoy it mate

I've got one of them. That was a bloody bargain that, the 3.5 was almost C plus's bike of the year this year, rarer than artistic talent in the Spice Girls and it was 1800 queens.

I changed my saddle, 'cos I didn't get on with the stock one, and the tyres to Conti's, it is smashing bike though a joy to ride. Enjoy it.

Thanks for the comments. Did a quick 25 miles today. Very nice ride. Smooth and tight when pushing hard. As for the bar tape my Mrs said I should change it! Haha I will get the black and red tape suggested. I had a cannondale synapse tiagra before the trek and the step up in class I massive. Looking forward to some long rides on it

In behind the cassette. The clear plastic disc that looks terrible...

Nice bike! And a really really good price. Good on you!

velogee

Absolutely awesome value for money!

Whats it like as a climber?

Whats the weight like?

stepdavi

Thanks for comments. Really good climber and decender. Weight is light enough but I believe the wheels are the first placeto look to lighten iit up. I'm gonna get mavic cosmic car bone SL as soon as budget allows. Loving it though. So easy to average 20mph+ over 20+ miles compared to around 17 on cannon dale.
