My Trek

Had the bike a few months now and love its handling, it suits my style or riding to a tee.
I wasn't too happy with all the white bits and the 105, nothing wrong with 105 but I thought that having used 6700 on all my recent bikes, then why not.
Here it is before the bits were replaced
As you can see, just an ordinary Trek madone..........bit boring really, but...
After a few months
It looks a lot stealthier without all the factory white...........next on the list are some Cosmic elites

Have to agree, looks far better after the changes, are you going to replace the white cabling as well ?
Looking Good.

I like it. Some new wheels would finish it off nicely.
How did you get on, going from a compact to a double chainset, do you live in a fairly flat area?0 -
I have always used 53/39 so the compact was a little too small for me, and living in flat Lincolnshire helps0

The new look is a definite improvement IMO.0

I will be changing, but have only just put the cork on so will get a bit of use out of it before ripping it off and swapping again0
