I absolute loved the color of this madone sl7, and the price tag for this bike model is so hard to beat... They did a great job with this bike

@Flashback_Jack 11 месяцев назад

I was considering the Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8 Di2, which is a phenomenal Di2 value itself, but the ultimate price for this Trek to my doorstep in Toronto has the Canyon beat.

@bernardo9202 11 месяцев назад

Have you seen the price on the new Emonda ALR with shimano 105 di2, at least in Portugal, is at 2300€, that's an amazing price. You can complete the bike with time and have an absolute beast. €1k for some elite drive wheels, 300€ for a farsports f1 HB and the canyon split seat post. And it's a bike that will go up with some bikes that are being sold for 5k

In case it was built on SRAM red axs, what the weight would be?

@GCPerformance18 3 месяца назад

I am not sure you would have to find the wieght of shimano ultegra and also the weight fo the new sram red and just subtract

@co66 3 месяца назад

@@GCPerformance18 , correct! I would go for this way. :) Cause as far as I remember the weight difference btw Ultegra Di2 and Dura ace di2 is smth around 200-300 grams, and Sram Red equals the level of Dura Ace, however, cheaper significantly. And I see no disadvantages now using Sram Red vs Shimano (used the whole of my life). So, it looks there is a good plan to consider Trek Madone SL, which is heavier, than SLR, but to equip it with better (lighter) wheels and lighter groupset. It looks overall it might become less heavier than smth like SLR on Sram Force))) :-)

Madones in a frame size 52 or smaller look awkward to me.

They do, but don't all aero bikes look awkward in smaller sizes due to the geometry of the top tube? The Madone looks much more funny tho, like a German Shepard with that low bottom.
