Hi guysI bought a 2013 trek madone 2.1 this morning and didnt notice it had a H3 positioning wich is the highest compared to H2 and H1. Can i convert it to a H2 and what exactly do i have to change? Is it only the stem or is it the headset or is the whole frame designed differently on each "H#" ?

Looking forward to your replies

    Expect it's to do with the length of the frame headtube which you can't change. If you have spacers fitted under your stem, you could remove these, perhaps fitting a lower headset top cover as well as inverting your stem to lower your handlebar height - depends on your present arrangement.

    The H3 Madone has a longer headtube and a shorter top tube . As mentioned above you could play around with stem lengths and angles to alter the position. Can you not change it for an H2 frame ?
