Anyone got one of these?

Need to get a new frame and tempted by one.

Or do I stick with what I know and get an Sworks Tarmac (and no need to buy new cranks and brakes). (BB86 and direct mount on the Trek).

Emonda is 300g lighter frame than the Sworks, FWIW.

    Not ridden one myself, but my LBS is a Trek dealer and mentioned they've shifted quite a few.

    I have a Emonda sl8 (2015) and I can't praise it enough.

    I have been test riding bikes with race geomatry in the last two weeks. Those include the Trek Emonda SLR 6, Canondale SuperSix, Giant TCR Advanced SL 2, and Specialized Tarmac Pro Race. The TCR and Emonda were my favorite with the sight edge going to the TCR.

    Useful stuff.....

    Guess I should point out that I would go for the H1 (racey) geometry on the Trek which I would imagine would ride quite differently to the H2.
