Red bikes are the fastest

That's a nice bike!

If you're looking to drop some weight, a couple of places you could look is the cassette and crank, by going to Dura Ace components (especially if you plan on getting a PM, I would get it then). Your wheels are good, but they are heavy and not as aero as other offerings. You may want to look at saving some money and upgrading them down the road.

That being said, go out and enjoy your bike!

Awesome looking bike. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun to ride. I like the store as well with all the Rapha clothing?
Where is the store located if you don't mind me asking.

Trek really nailed the look of that bike. Something about it, maybe it’s the deep fork, it just looks fast.

Weight?

Save your money and put it towards better wheels. I would go either XXX 4/6 or Enve 5.6. Losing a few grams here or there on this bike makes no sense. Better wheels on the other hand will make a lot more sense.

Weight?

My guess would be around 18-lbs. Ultegra=heavy, Disk=heavy, those wheels=super heavy.

Thanks! The photos are taken in the Rapha Clubhouse in Copenhagen.

I totally agree. Of all the aero bikes I was looking at the Madone SLR was in my opinion the best looking. I like that there's no cutout in the seat tube. And the oversized Trek-logo really fits with the oversized tubes. And red bikes always looks fast.

ruining that aero with 28mm tires on not super wide rims
ok for winter training tough

nice bike
what brand is that ? I can't see anything on the frame

[Greenduck]

Weight?

I haven't weighed it. But my guess would be around 8 kilos without pedals, bottlecages and Garmin and light mounts.

A few changes since I recieved the bike in December.

Bontrager Aeolus XXX 6 wheels
-15 degrees stem
Quarq DZero91 power meter
Dura-Ace shifter, brake calibers, front/rear derailleur, cassette and pedals
Bontrager Aeolus Pro saddle
Bontrager R4 Classics 28 mm tyres

Still one of the best looking bikes / best paint jobs around.

They're all still over 8kg when built up though, annoyingly.

[FlatlandClimber]

Extremely good looking. I like this paint job also better than the newer ones. With Dura Ace, lighter wheels (Roval Rapide maybe, is this legal?), a lighter saddle and the new Aeolus RSL cockpit one should be able to get it to 7.5kg I guess.
