I ride a 56cm frame, so a 54 should be marginally lighter.FIJIGabe wrote:A couple of comments:
1. Looks like Trek kept the same headtube system from the Madone 9, which would support the claim that the SLR bar/stem is backwards compatible with the older Madone 9 frames. That's good to know, especially if you're having problems with the fit of the prior generation bar/stem combo. I might look into it when I rebuild my bike for Di2.
2. What size is your frame? It looks like a 54, but I wanted to be sure. Even with the brake still attached, the weight isn't that bad. I am still concerned that the IsoSpeed adds weight for a marginal improvement in comfort. Even on the less-than-ideal roads around Houston, I've never really felt a desire to change the comfort level of my bike. I kinda wish Trek would have left this feature alone, from the prior generation, and just concentrated on the bar/stem and disc brakes, and dropping weight from the frame (maybe make the disc brake verion the same weight as the Madone 9 rim brake version).
My centre bb to top of saddle is 785mm. I'm 6 ft tall pretty much bang on.spartan wrote:liking this thread. might pick a slr for my next build. can not decide between a 54 vs 56.

According to Trek Benelux customer service the new bar and stem are compatible with the 'old' Madone.FIJIGabe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 2:40 pmA couple of comments:

Yeah, we had talked about this, before. Now that I see how the headtube is designed, I'm sure it'll just be the logistics of matching it to the old frame, if anyone is going to upgrade.bruno2000 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 21, 2018 2:57 pmAccording to Trek Benelux customer service the new bar and stem are compatible with the 'old' Madone.FIJIGabe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 2:40 pmA couple of comments:
