New Madone for the Tour?
Moderator: robbosmans
In this video the head mechanic for radioshack nissan trek says that there will be a new frame for the tour. So does that mean a new Madone? Or by saying that did he mean that all the riders get a "fresh" bike, but the same as what they have been riding?
The comment is around 2:50 if you want to skip ahead.

If it is a new madone, i am betting it will be an aero frame with tube shapes similar to the speed concept.

There will be a new bike either for ATOC or the Tour. It will be a semi aero bike. Thats all the details I am aware of at this point.

Just what I thought. It's common practice for riders to get a fresh frame for the Tour on many teams.
correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems trek tweak the madone nearly every year.
That said they have just released the domain (spelling??), and an aero bike would be more valuable to market than another slightly "better" madone.

Yes, there is a new Madone coming.
- Zipp rims will break if you look at them too hard
- R-Sys wheels will spontaneously explode
- The ZG crankset will never, ever exist
- Everyone needs Lightweights, even if they're fat and old
- Parts actually made of metal are SO 10 years ago

Uses the Shimano 9000 direct mount brake. Kamm tube shapes as well. Trek goes "aero"
