If you like it, who cares if the women's team rides it? I think it looks sweet!mikedtn wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 7:11 pmIs this generally seen as a womens paint job due to the Trek Segafredo womens team riding it?
Strange how they'd do that colour in frame sizes up to 62cm if that was the case.
I've found it in stock but I'm torn due to my mind automatically thinking of it being a women's livery.

That's my favorite non-Project One colorway. I wouldn't consider it a women's color. Buy what you like.WWerreWW wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:02 pmIf you like it, who cares if the women's team rides it?

Next you'll be saying you'd never win the Giro as people would think you're a girl wearing pink.
Ha, exactly right. The bike's cheaper than the pre covid prices, and the more I look at the paint job the more I'm liking it.DWatkinsBSB wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 9:00 amMate, you need to get a grip.mikedtn wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 7:11 pmIs this generally seen as a womens paint job due to the Trek Segafredo womens team riding it?

Just put in an order for my Émonda SL5 (in the carbon blue smoke/metallic blue colorway ). I'm planning to build it up as light as I can from the get-go. Some of my immediate upgrades include the new Ultegra Di2 and a set of Hyper 50mm discs (I'd go for the 38 for weight but I'm just a sucker for 50s).
I also am planning to get the RSL handlebar but would need to get a fit first to dial in my size. In the meantime, does any one have any recommendations for a lightweight bar and stem combo (that can hide the cables as best as possible) I can use while waiting for my RSLs?
Any other lightweight pieces and tips would be appreciated! Here's a prospective list of parts and weights I'm eying.
P ZERO™ Race TLR 700x26C - 540g (pair)
MOST SUPERLIGHT 3MM HANDLEBAR TAPE - 60g
Trek Color-Matched Carbon Seat Mast Cap & 7mm Round Ears - 130g
By the way, I went for a size 47 (short asian guy ). Would anyone have a frame/set weight for that? I'd also love to see photos of any size 47 Émondas!

If you want a lightweight stem, you don't have the option to hide the cables. An Extralite or a KCNC FLY RIDE are among the lightest. It uses Tubolito chambers and Goodyear F1 tires.gabpolitely wrote:Just put in an order for my Émonda SL5 (in the carbon blue smoke/metallic blue colorway ).

Trek stopped making "women's" frames, years ago. Any paintjob, and contact point, is available through Project 1 from size 47 to 62. Frankly, I think this blue color scheme is better than the men's team's colors, but that's just me.

I mean, will I be able to lower the FD enough without the shifting being wonky.gabriiaia7273 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:30 amLook FSA.nazekimi wrote:Anyone know if a super-compact or sub-compact crankset fit the Emonda SL?

This guy had a problem with a sub-compact, but that might just be a SLR problem..

You won't be able to lower it enough without getting the chain dropping on the outside now and then, I use a 46/30 on my bike and I can get chain drops when going quick over a bump in the road.nazekimi wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:37 amI mean, will I be able to lower the FD enough without the shifting being wonky.gabriiaia7273 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:30 amLook FSA.nazekimi wrote:Anyone know if a super-compact or sub-compact crankset fit the Emonda SL?

But you can lower further using products like the following:

I've tried the FSA part, but it made my FD contact my chain catcher, I'll try it again when I get around to fitting a different chain catcher.
