it is good bike but changing bar/stem is nightmare.i promiss...

[jeffy]

saw one the other day, am i correct that the seat/saddle clamp setback is two options 20mm set back and 40mm setback.
I appreciate that as an aerobike and aero position can generally means more setback (if you subscribe to certain bike fitting methods), but what if you require a zero setback for fit - or even just prefer a very much forward TT like position?

honestly anyone getting that caliber of a bike is/should get a fit or knows what they need. So how often are you going to changing those ?

There is a 5mm offset option and a 25mm offset option.

Not sure where you got 20/40mm from?

I'm frankly bored by all this talk about how much super bikes should cost. If price is a concern, some bikes are not for you, simple as that. Start a thread on the bike industry economics elsewhere. Let's go back to talking about its qualities etc. As it is, Tour magazine has already commended its aero qualities, so if people buy that they'll be happy to own one.

For what it's worth, I've already seen 2 on the road in tiny Singapore and the shop has posted pics of a few TFRs going out. Stock black paint job is really quite boring though.

I think Singapore as a market is fairly unique. It's the only place in the world where every 5 cars is a bmw or Mercedes in a public housing residents car park[emoji14]
I see plenty of high end pinarellos sworks, treks, looks on my weekly rides.

Sorry for OT..

Ah yep, sorry about the mis information regarding the head tube measurements guys. I think I was looking at the wrong column in the geo chart after measuring the bike.

what happens if you want to use a different bar/stem?

what happens to the internal routing?
I would like to see an alternate stem that incorporates the routing so you can use a different bar, as bar shape is a very personal preference item.

Never been a big fan but this looks superb:

As you can see on the chart, the 56 cm is listed as having a 17 cm head tube and that includes the bearing cover/top cap as shown in the photo of a H2 56cm.

Is there a chart for the bar/stem size options?

I wanted to spec out a bike, but can't find the "stem" angles/ lengths offered for a given bar width.

I'd also like to know bar reach/drop.

Thanks!

Reach Drop
123mm 93mm

[jeffy]

angle 7*

I've looked up pics and see what like like - 17 and - 10 to my eye. What isn't this information easier to find? How is bar stack measured since there is what looks like stack below the bar/stem?

The front end seems really hard to pin down for someone that already knows their fit and wants to see how this bike would be set up to work.

Stem is indeed 7 deg.
There is only 5 and 25mm offsets available.
I like the bike a lot (have it now for 3 month).
Only the cable rattle...... grrrrr although part of it comes from the DA brake levers... a body knows how to stop that?

Madone frame really is a looker to my eye. Even though I've never been a fan of Trek.

Something I was wondering about from the comments - that this frame has been unsuccessful in races? I know it's not really important but is it true?

You don't have 3-4 teams using it like specialized .. and it's still 99.99999% the rider
